Step into the season with a guided hike through the beauty of autumn. As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, the old growth forest bursts into vibrant fall colors. Enjoy the sights, sounds, and scents of nature preparing for winter, and discover the unique changes that make this time of year so special. This autumn walk offers a perfect way to connect with the season.

Please RSVP so we know to expect you.

What to Expect and Bring:

• This is an easy, 1.2 mile trail with steps to get over bridges.

• Dress for the weather and be sure to wear pants thick enough to stand up to thorns, brush, poison ivy, ticks, and mosquitos (unfortunately leggings aren’t very protective).

• Wear closed-toed shoes that can stand up to mud.

• Bring a water bottle, preferably refillable.

• Restroom facilities are not available on site.
