About this Event
Join Compass Point and Dirty Girl Adventures for our annual Solstice tradition!
The Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, is a perfect time to reflect on the past and celebrate the returning light. Bundle up, grab your headlamp, and let's mark the end of 2025 together on the trail!
🌲 The Adventure
We will hike a couple of miles on a wooded trail featuring steep inclines/declines and uneven surfaces. Since the Solstice falls on a Sunday, we get to enjoy the daylight! The hike will conclude just as the sun sets, followed by a ceremonial fire starting and a cozy gathering.
- Distance: Approximately 2 miles
- Terrain: Wooded trail, moderate difficulty (steep sections)
- Post-Hike: Ceremonial Fire & Gathering
