Hikes take up to two hours and are usually followed by coffee or lunch. Some of the paths are muddy and uneven, and some are steep for short stretches but none are very strenuous. Locations for hikes include Smuggler Cove, Cliff Gilker Park, Soames Hill, Hidden Groves, and Gospel Rock. If you are interested in joining Striders contact mondaystriders@gmail.com.
