May GoHike Urban Walk: 3 to 5.5 miles, 300 to 1,250 feet gain (optional) - Point Defiance Park

We will be walking the Outside Loop, marked in dark blue on the trail map. This loop includes several viewpoints which offer sweeping views of the south sound and the nearby islands.  

We will make a few stops along the route, including the restrooms at the northern end of the loop near the Gig Harbor viewpoint, and at the Mountaineers Tree.

My walk style is social, nature-focused, and collaborative. We will take regular breaks and encourage going at a pace where you can still talk. The group will stay together and move at the pace of the slowest person. This amazing urban park is a great nature oasis, and I encourage you to tune into the quiet of the forest. Please feel free to bring a charged phone and take pictures but refrain from taking or making phone calls while on the trail unless absolutely necessary.

Further details will be sent out in a Hello Walker email on May 28. Registration closes on May 29.
