Hi Freethinking hikers,

The hike this Sunday will be a trail that starts close to the Equestrian Center (just off of Rio Grande St. west of 8th St.) and heads west towards Bear Creek Nature Center. The difficulty level of this hike is easier than Waldo Canyon Trail but more difficult that Sinton Trail (last Saturday). Bringing snacks for lunch may be a good idea depending on the length of the hike.

witnessed the ripples in society that are caused when people become aware of
