Let's meet for a hike and some geo-chat!
When: Saturday, March 26th @ 1pm to 1:30pm (or as long as you linger!)
Where: Lewis & Clark State Park North Trail
Why: For the second year, the North Dakota Park & Recreation Department (NDPRD) has issued a statewide “12 Months – 12 Hikes” challenge. To participate, just pick and hike one of the 21 qualifying trails. The trails are located in 13 participating state parks and you have the entire month to complete a hike. You can complete your hikes all in one park or explore any of 13 locations across the state. New this year: If you miss a hike/month, you can complete 1 of the 3 bonus hikes.
The North Dakota Geocaching Association (NDGCA) would like to help everyone complete the hiking challenge. To do this, we will be hosting an event in a different state park each month, so we can get together with other geocachers.
What: We will meet and chat a little before hiking the North Trail loop (we will wait until 1:30pm to start hiking), a hike that is about 2.5 to 3 miles long with grassy, forest spots to great views of the lake. I'll have a small snack and water following the hike, and maybe some prizes.
Reminders: A daily pass ($7) or annual ND state park pass ($35) is required to enter. Dress for the weather/trails - boots and layers!
