A Haunting History of Ijams Hike
Every 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.
Participants should wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes that are okay getting muddy or walking up inclines. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing. For evening hikes, participants should bring a flashlight or headlamp. Participants will cover 1-2 miles and the hike will be approximately 1.5-2 hours. Participants will meet at Mead's Quarry Parking lot near the map kiosk. Parking pass is covered in your ticket cost and you will receive a pass on the day of the event from your guide.
Tickets are $20 per person. No walk-ins will be accepted. Every participant must have a ticket. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Some stories may not be appropriate for younger children.
