A Haunting History of Ijams HikeEvery landscape carries its stories, and some are darker than others. Step into the shadows of Ijams Nature Center for an afternoon/evening hike that blends natural beauty with its own spine-tingling history. On this guided hike, uncover the lesser-known history of what happened on the landscape that Ijams now calls home—where beauty and tragedy have long shared the same trails. Listen to the stories of strange happenings, restless outlaws, and real-life tragedies that left their mark on the land. Blending fact and folklore, this walk reveals an Ijams shaped not only by nature, but also by the haunting events of its past. You will discover a side of Ijams you’ve never experienced before.
