This activity affords members an opportunity for a low impact, casually paced hike through some of the many beautiful and topographically diverse areas in the Grand Traverse area. We love to stop and smell the flowers, look at the foliage and observe the local fauna. Walks are usually on the second Saturday of the month at 11:00 a.m., April thru November weather-permitting. The details for each are in each month's Newsletter. From January through March, we switch to Cross Country Skiis and/or Snowshoes.

Walks last between one and two hours and are typically less than two miles in length. Lunch following the walk has become an enjoyable feature.

Leaders are Jane and Dick Grewe, email at jedgrewe@charter.net or phone 231-941-4961
