Urban Hiking

General Information

The Urban Hiking SIG explores parks, trails, and new locations in the metro area with one or more monthly gatherings including hikes which focus on fitness and movement. Our hikes are about 3 miles and we walk at a moderate pace. Everyone is welcome to participate in any or all events throughout the year without any ongoing obligation. We also welcome suggestions from everyone on new locations to explore.

The group uses a rotational leadership model and invite members to select a location and lead a hike.

If you want to be added to the list 1) add yourself to the contact group. or 2) Contact Lauren Edlund using the Member Directory. If not a Member, please contact us with any questions you may have.

Event Information

Thanks to Chris for leading a hike in the St Anthony park area in July. The August hike was cancelled at the last minute due to a forecast of thunderstorms at the time we were hiking that never materialized (grrrr). We are moving that hike to October.

Our September hike will be in Bloomington. We will be walking about 2.5 miles of the Nine Mile Creek loop starting in Moir Park. This was a favorite when we walked there a couple years ago.

Register for September hike

Our October hike is the hike previously planned for August but cancelled due to weather.

Lauren is once again coordinating our hikes which will be on the fourth Friday of the month. If you have already volunteered to lead one, thanks. If you are open to leading, contact Lauren. You can find her in the membership directory.

The group is not limited to only walking once a month. If members want to plan additional hikes, please contact Lauren so we can get them on the calendar and in the newsletter.
