Sunday Morning Hike Recap – Island Ford Energy Boost

What a fantastic way to kick off a Sunday. Our 4.5‑mile energizing hike at Island Ford was everything you want from a morning on the trail—great people, great views, and that perfect mix of challenge and serenity.

We had an awesome group of 12 hikers out there today: Jim A, VG, Laura D, Teel (brand‑new member—congrats!), Anu, Julie B, Stacy S, Angela B, Ira L, Kirsten B, Lori T, and trip leader Erica B.

We explored the new Beech Loop Trail, dipped into parts of the inner trail for some beautiful river views, wandered along a couple of connecting trails, and soaked in some truly stunning scenery. The pond was glowing in the morning light, wildlife was active, and nature showed off in all the best ways.

The pace was smooth, the conversations were fun, and the group's energy made the miles fly by. A perfect blend of fresh air, movement, and community.

Here’s to more hikes, more miles, and more mornings like this.
