It’s a lively group that hikes on Wednesday mornings.

Come join us–we meet at the trailhead kiosk at 8:30am.

Our community hikes on Wednesdays are becoming more popular. Come and join us for a refreshing, invigorating hike to the top of Overlook Trail and enjoy the view. . . .and maybe make your entry into the Hikers Notebook that’s up there. (Read about the notebook in this blog–Roy is pulling out great quotes and stories from nearly 20 years of notebooks).

Meet at the Overhead Trailhead Kiosk at 8:30am every Wednesday.

View from the top–last week’s hikers. . . before coffee!
