Geology Hike – CANCELLED

This event that was scheduled for this Sunday, November 8th is being cancelled.

Group health and safety is our priority and considering the mini-spike of COVID 19 cases currently in Washington County we feel it is be best to postpone the event. Thank you all for understanding and we will reach out with a new date, most likely for a date in spring/summer of the new year.

In the meantime keep exploring the trails, this weekend is looking like beautiful fall weather! We can’t wait to hit the trail with you as soon as we can.
