Find trail information here:

What to expect:

• We will meet up in the parking lot near the trailhead. *If you are running late, please communicate via text or call with the organizer. (614.492.8632) We will set off on the trail no later than 11:30, so please plan accordingly.
• Before we begin, the group will engage in some light, dynamic stretches and a reflection/conversation prompt led by Coach Ari.
• We will begin a moderately-paced hike through the woods as a group. You are encouraged to keep your eye out for interesting plants, mushrooms, and wildlife along the way.
• At some point we can take a longer break to refuel with water, snacks and enjoy whatever view, river or waterfall we are near. This will be an opportunitiy to dip your toes in the water if you like, find a rock to chill on, or appreciate nature in whatever way resonates with you.
• After completing the hike, we will close by stretching the main muscle groups used, while holding space for those who would like to share their reflections on the earlier prompt.

FUEL BEFORE YOU HIKE! Be sure to eat something before the hike and bring PLENTY of water, extra if it will be hot.
