Get out and enjoy the natural beauty of our surroundings here on the North Shore and Gunflint Trail while helping to build community! Join the Happy Hikers for a walk (or a bunch of walks!) on Wednesdays from July 3 through September 25. The group will meet at 9am at the Cook County YMCA east parking lot (by the tennis courts) to carpool to the trailheads, hike for 2-4 miles, and enjoy picnic lunches together. The hikes are of varying difficulties. Hikers should assess their physical ability to do the hikes, and all will be required to sign a liability form.
A description of each weekly hike will be posted in the Cook County News Herald and on the Boreal website (www.boreal.org.) It will also be sent via email to participants.
Hikes are open to all, and well-behaved dogs on a leash are also welcome. For more information or to be added to the Happy Hiker email list, contact group leader Carol Morgen at carol@morgen.us.
