Welcome to another silent hike event!

This will be a partial silent hike to better enjoy nature and experience some quietness. The silent part of the hike will be the first hour and a half.

"The hours when the mind is absorbed by beauty are the only hours when we really live" - Richard Jefferies, from the Trail of Beauty

Silent hikes provide with the opportunity to better immerse in nature, allow the other hikers to immerse themselves in nature as well, and "quiet" our internal chatter. They are also less disruptive for wild life around us. We improve our listening, eye-foot coordination, and situational awareness. You can focus on your breathing or on your steps. This will quiet your mind at the same time. 

We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road to head to the river, hike up some small hills, and through an open field. You're welcome to bring a trash bag to help collect trash on the go.

 Purchase your $5 parking fee in advance online.
