**BEGINNERS & THOSE RECOVERING FROM INJURIES WELCOME! : )**
Maybe you have only walked to get from one point to another and not sure what hiking is all about. Perhaps you are a bit timid about heading into the woods with a group of people you don't know. Maybe you aren't sure if you have the "right" gear for an outdoor adventure. Or maybe you're recovering from a recent injury and are looking for a smooth transition back into hiking. Whatever the reason, this will be a great way to get to know the AOC and others interested in hiking. Veteran hikers you are also welcome to sign up. This will be a relaxing change from your higher level hikes while getting to know a local park and meet new members.
This hike will take place at Murphy Candler Park. This 135 acre park has baseball and football fields, a swimming pool, tennis courts and picnic facilities. We will be walking along the nature trails, both concrete and dirt paths, that encompass the area. There will be plenty of wildlife to view. We may see Canadian geese, mallard ducks, various songbirds, a heron, hawk, and an owl.
We will walk at a slow pace ensuring the comfort of all attendees. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED OF YOUR COMFORT LEVEL SO I MAY ADJUST ACCORDINGLY! This area is relatively flat, but there may be a few muddy or wet areas. Wear proper shoes!
I am allowing up to 2 well-behaved, leashed dogs on this event. Please bring a bag to pick up after your pets. : ) |
