Sunday Saunter -  ‘St Bridgids Day’ / Tu BiShvat Boundary Hike

This 3 mile hike will skirt the cemetery’s boundary edge woodlands. We will learn tree lore and learn to identify some of the trees along our way. We will dip into the Cemetery and pass some graves of people who shaped Charleston’s history. This will be challenging hike, with over 800ft of elevation gain, and woodland trails. You will be rewarded with some amazing views up and down the Kanawha Valley and perhaps some surprise wildlife and bird sightings. There are several points along the way where you will be able to cut your hike short.  Wear suitable clothing and perhaps bring a snack. 

Hike Rating: Medium - Difficult
Multiple Surface: Woodland single track, grass and gravel
Slope/Grade: Multiple steep slopes, over 800ft of elevation
Obstacles: Roots, rocks, logs, creek crossings
Meet at the Office Administration Building.


St. Brigid's Day, celebrated on February 1st, marks the beginning of spring (Imbolc) and honors Ireland's female patron saint, St. Brigid of Kildare, blending ancient Celtic traditions with Christian faith, featuring activities like making rush crosses for protection, visiting holy wells, and celebrating fertility, new life, and hope. It's a national holiday in Ireland, honoring her as a founder of monasteries, a healer, and a symbol of renewal.
