We are a group of mixed age men and women that enjoy walking, hiking or
strolling various regional park trails and walking paths. We try to
gauge our excursions based on weather and temperatures. Members will
receive a weekly invite email describing the upcoming walk, and they
will have an opportunity to RSVP yes, no, or maybe. Our walks are
sometimes invigorating, and other times provide a peaceful retreat from
busy lives. You decide, all levels are warmly welcomed.

We are passionate about fostering a community grounded in Diplomacy, Inclusion, Respect, and Empathy.

Our focus is to create a nurturing space where we can uplift and encourage one another, growing in our relationships with Christ and with each other. This group warmly welcomes people of all ages, and families are especially encouraged to attend. What makes our gatherings unique is the leadership of two members from the disabled community, who bring invaluable perspectives and experiences. We believe that through thoughtful discussions and shared experiences, we can all grow together and become beacons of hope for one another.
