Description
Ready to conquer the great outdoors...at a perfectly reasonable speed?
Join EPRD's Active Adult Programs for A Walk in the Woods: a free hiking group designed for adults 50+ who enjoy laid-back adventures, great conversations, and random nature facts along the way.
Led by Corinne Jackson, this group will meet once a month to get out and explore the stunning trails and breathtaking views in and around Evergreen, CO. Whether you're highly experienced at hiking or are just getting your boots muddy for the first time, we want to see you there!
For safety purposes, Registration is required for all participants. Please be sure to fill out all waivers and contact information online before attending.
When: First Friday of every month (June-October 2026) from 9:30-11:00am
Where: For August, we will be hiking at Elk Meadow Park for a different trail than previously done. We will meet at the Stagecoach Parking Lot (upper parking lot) and will hit the trail from there. This can be found at 32281 Stagecoach Boulevard, Evergreen, CO 80439. For more information on where to meet and available trails, please visit Elk Meadow Park | Jefferson County, CO
What to know: We will hike approximately 1-2 miles during this hike (with the option to go for more if the group so wishes). Some elevation and unpaved trails will be present. This trail will feature more shade than most, which will be VERY welcome in the August heat!
What to bring:
- Water Bottle, Snacks, Drink Mixes, etc.
- Hiking Shoes or Trail Shoes
- Sunglasses, Hat, Sunscreen, Bug Spray
- Weather appropriate clothing (light jacket for cool mornings)
- Rain Jacket or Poncho
- Trekking Poles, Camera (Optional)
- Excitement, Joy, Sense of Adventure (Not Optional)
Come for the views, stay for the laughs, and leave feeling refreshed (not exhausted!). We hope to see you there!
