Hiking
Takes place 2nd Wednesday of each month
All Members Welcome! Members under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
Celebrate time outdoors on the many spectacular trails and state parks in our area with other Y members. The Hiking with the Y program is a great way to stay active, connect with others in the great outdoors and enjoy the wonderful beauty of nature.
Our lead hiker will send an email the evening prior with directions, parking info, and general hiking information to ensure it is sent to all participants. Your hiking lead will be at the park entrance waiting for you at 8:45 am to guide you to the designated parking area. Bring comfortable shoes for hiking and water.
Look forward to seeing you then!
For more information, please contact the YMCA at 864.571.9622.
