50ish and over: Community Hike

About the hike and what to expect: This afternoon walk/hike is designed for more 'seasoned' hikers. We'll be moving at a leisurely pace, chatting along the way. Hikers can expect to adventure for about 2 hours - sometimes these events are a bit less, sometimes these activities are a bit more. Our objective is rarely a specific destination, but more about enjoying time in the outdoors.

Scout Ridge trail follows a bluff along Cottonwood Creek and overlooks the Palmer Hay Flats. The trail is mellow with a few inclines and declines underneath a canopy of birch and cottonwood. The trail goes through the woods and passes by small lakes and streams. As you walk along, you are passing through the ancient remains of Athabaskan settlements. Along the trail, we will stop at the Scout Ridge Overlook where we can look out over the hay flats, the Chugach Mountains, the Knik River Valley, and Pioneer Peak.

After the event, we’ll enjoy hot drinks or lemonade at the trailhead.
