Join us on an enchanting and challenging hike, the perfect escape from the city for a nature-filled adventure. Hike through emerging trails and take in breathtaking scenic views as you immerse yourself in the tranquility and serenity of the great outdoors. This is a moderate to hard hike, ideal for those seeking a rewarding experience. Along the way, you’ll meet like-minded adventurers who share a passion for the outdoors—new friends, fresh air, and unforgettable memories await! Pack your favorite sandwich and drink, we will have a snack break on the trail. Don’t miss out on this exciting journey!
*We are getting away from the city to forget about timing, enjoy nature and socialize. If you're looking to make new outdoorsy friends, you've found the perfect place. But if you're seeking a fast-paced group, this might not be the right fit.*
