Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Come out and enjoy spring. The forcast is looking great for Wednesday. Take a wellness day from work to be exhilarated from nature. This is an exploratory event. There are trails through the gardens and five hiking trails. The longest hiking trail is Mountain Loop:3.5 miles . The shortest are 1.5 miles.  We will get a map and make a group decision which trails to complete. Our first adventure will be to the gardens. Bring a camera for some great shots. We will then check the time and have lunch before hitting the trails.
