We’re kicking off the year together with our starter hike at Dash Point State Park — a great way to ease back into movement, connection, and time on the trail.
This will be a relatively easy hike, with distance ranging between 2–5 miles, depending on the group that shows up. We’ll move at a comfortable pace and adjust as needed. This is about showing up, not pushing limits.
Located between Seattle and Tacoma, Dash Point offers beautiful forested trails, fresh air, and space to reset. While the park is well known for its shoreline, the wooded trails make for a perfect, grounded start to the year.
Who this hike is for:
✔️ Active duty service members
✔️ Veterans
✔️ Military families
✔️ Civilians who want to walk alongside and support the military community
🅿️ Discovery Pass is required for parking
👟 Wear weather-appropriate footwear

This is a peer support hike — low pressure, no expectations, just good people and time outside.
One step. One breath. One trail at a time.
