Let's check out Minnesota's springtime in full force along the Minnehaha Trail in the bluffs! (a subtle reminder to take anti-histamines if you need them) ;)
Park in the parking lot next to the Thomas C. Savage Visitor Center in Fort Snelling State Park and look for the person with the lilac handkerchief tied to a walking stick to gather.
We'll start the walk at 10:15 a.m. and will be maintaining a slow, steady pace for approximately 3 miles. This is a smooth, paved path.
Some things to know:
*There IS a state park entry fee for Fort Snelling State Park. You can, however, "check out" an entry from your local library to bypass this! Learn more here: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/minnesota-state-parks-library-program.html
*Please do not leave anything in your car and lock your doors while we're on our walk.
*Plan on meeting at the parking lot - look for the lilac handkerchief tied to my walking stick so we can gather in a group.
*Dress appropriately for the weather and your comfort.
*Pets are welcome if allowed at the location, as long as they remain on a leash or in a stroller. The pet owner is responsible for poop clean-up and disposal. Please ask before allowing your pet to greet others - some folks might not be comfortable with new pets.
