Every day is a hiking, snowshoeing, or paddling day, but a list of some of the upcoming outings is shared here. Dates may be changed because of weather, conditions, and other factors. Solo mostly, but small groups are okay too.

A hike to the top of Sugarloaf in the Lundbom Grasslands with a loop route back. This was a group hike, but it was going to be too noisy for me, so its now a solo hike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at4zSkd2uLw
A hike in the upper grasslands to Clay Lake, then through mixed forest to the slopes of Clapperton Ridge and back through the aspens. An annual hike, but usually done 2-3 times each year.
