52 Hike Challenge - MN Chapter | September "Sunday Slowdown" Group Hike
About this Event
Who: 52 Hike Challengers + Friends/Family
What: 52 Hike Challenge - MN Chapter | *NEW* September Sunday Slowdown
🌿 Join our 52 Hike Challenge crew for a *NEW* group hike experience as we slow things down and embrace what nature and the trails have to offer. Take this opportunity to RELAX and just BE.
When: Sunday, September 13th, 10am - 12pm
Where: Holland Lake Trailhead, Lebanon Hills Regional Park, Eagan, MN
Trail details & ability level: We will hike in roughly 1.75 miles from the Holland Lake Trailhead, towards the infamous A-frame. This is a well travelled, but occasionally rough trail with rocks and roots. On our Slowdown hikes, we will be walking at a slower pace as we try to more mindfully observe our surroundings as we go. As a result, this is a great experience for hikers who prefer a slower pace. Once we get to our destination, we will take a 20-30 minute mindfulness break. Take this opportunity to relax and unwind however you choose. Options include: journaling, yoga, prayer, deep breathing, etc. After our break, we will return to the trailhead at Holland Lake
We will be mindful of weather conditions before this hike, to ensure everyone's safety.
This includes temperature, rain/storms, and any elemental conditions as they present themselves. If there is a cancellation necessary, we will try to do so within 24hrs of the day of the hike.
What to bring: Weather appropriate clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, and consider boots or supportive footwear, watch weather in case you need a raincoat, a daypack or similar with water, personal needs, bug spray, your Hiking 10 essentials, and a positive attitude! For our Slowdown hikes, you are encouraged to bring anything you might need for our mindfulness break, like a blanket, yoga mat, or journal. Please be sure you can comfortably carry whatever you choose to bring.
