October Gentle Hike

  • Walnut Woods State Park 3155 Walnut Woods Drive West Des Moines, Iowa, 50265 United States (map)

$12

Join us for the first of a new hike series: Gentle Hikes! Gentle hikes are for folks who enjoy a nice meander through the forest, taking in the sights and small wonders of the world. These hikes are perfect for folks new to hiking and/or who need or prefer a relaxed hiking pace.

Each gentle hike will start with some gentle standing stretches to help us get in touch with our bodies and a card pull from “A Deck for Wonder-Walking” as an invitation to our minds before setting off on our hike. We will stop along the way to admire the way sunlight touches a leaf, investigate mysterious fungi, listen to the birds, and whatever else suits your fancy.

Folks should be open to times of silence and times of conversation. Expect a short hike of 1.5 to 2.5 miles, as suits the group. Trails are on unpaved/dirt paths.

Registration is limited to 15 folks.
