Organiser's Description
PWCG is hosting an #optoutside hike on Black Friday!!
Feeling stuffed from turkey, mashed potatoes, and pie!?! Same. Instead of lying on the couch, weve decided to skip the insane shopping and *get outside* to burn off some of that gravy - one step at a time.
Join us for a post-Thanksgiving hike the day after Turkey Day!
If we can't be on the water floating off our food coma, at least we can be on the trail walking it off. No experience necessary - just bring your appetite for adventure (and maybe some snacks for the hike *and* after). It's fall, y'all, and the fall colors should be on full display on this section of the trail!
