Summer Hikes and Fellowship

Once again this summer, we will be having low-key hikes for all ages. The hikes will be led by Good Shepherd folks, about once each month, starting in June. While these are not strenuous hikes, most are on natural trails and may not be suitable for those with mobility challenges or very small children (check with the leader of the hike if you have questions). Meeting times and places will be announced before each hike and car-pooling is possible. You can also opt to meet the group at each trailhead, but please contact the leader to let them know so they know to look for you before starting on the trail!

Saturday, June 13: Tolmie State Park. Lorna Sheveland and Pastor Brenda are the hike leaders. Meet at Lorna’s home at 5620 Waldron Dr. NE in Jubilee at 9:30 am, or 9:45 at the trailhead. Lorna’s phone number is 916-747-6612 if you have questions about her hike.

Saturday, July 11: Woodard Bay Conservation Area. Pastor Carol and Jane Ann are the hike leaders. Meet at the main parking area at 3 pm (note: it is not a big parking lot; carpooling is encouraged), or at church to carpool at 2:30 pm. We can choose to hike the .8 mile (one way) Whitman Road Trail or the 1.3 mile Loop Train. Both are pretty flat. (Note: the Overlook Trail, at the northern end of the Chehalis Western Trail, is closed for the summer to protect nesting herons.) If you need to reach the hike leaders, call 612-770-9648.

Saturday, August 15: Millersylvania State Park. Meeting time and place TBD.

Saturday, September 12: Mclane Creek Nature Trail. Meeting time and place TBD.
