- It’s very flat and 90% paved and we are walking beside the water the whole time.
- There and back is about 45 minutes each way.
- This is a reflective practice during the hike, providing a safe space for folks to reflect and discuss whatever they would like to.
- It will include a “forest bathing” and meditative exercise. It is meant to encourage reflection, safe discussion, and appreciation of nature.
