Join H.I.K.E at 9 AM (plan to begin hiking at 9.30 AM) for an easy going hike— letting kids explore and enjoy nature at their own pace. Plan to get to see the museum area, with an easy loop and some areas where the kids can play in a creek if the drought hasn’t dried it up! Ms. Kilian (group leader) says her and her family may tackle a longer slightly tougher trail after the large group hike if any attendees are interested.

• Route: Laurel Trail

• Distance: 0.7 miles

• Difficulty: Easy

• Terrain: Mostly natural-surface trail through wooded areas (don’t forget your sunscreen and bug spray!)

• Estimated time: ~15 - 20 mins
