For this hike, we’ll meet in the grassy area, next to the Pavilion that is across from Higher Grounds coffee at 5:45 pm.
We’ll begin our his evening hike with a short blessing at 6 pm, then be on our way. We will wander through the fairy garden paths, giving young ones a chance to see the fairy houses made by others, and add their own fairy houses if they would like to make one at home before the hike.
We will keep this walk to 2 miles maximum, so the littler kids can have fun and join us to explore nature together.
