GetHiking! Spring 2022

Since grade school, we’ve always looked forward to spring! Recess on the playground (not in a cramped gym), romping through the neighborhood into the evening, the promise of the school year coming to a close and the prospect of summer vacation! Spring was always been a time to get outside.

It still is.

Our GetHiking! program is offering a number of ways to make that happen.

  • 10 hikes
  • Every Sunday morning starting March 20 and running through May 22 at 10 a.m.
