Special "Grand Tour de Edgewood" Hike at Edgewood Natural Preserve

Would you like a longer hike to sample all of Edgewood’s habitats, great views, and an introduction to the plants, birds, and animals? Then this hike is for you! The wildflower season will be past its peak, but we’ll still see plenty of flowers, hear and see spring migrant birds, and learn about other inhabitants of the preserve.

This hike is geared toward adults and older children who can handle a longer, slightly more challenging hike than most Edgewood hikes.

We’ll cover about 3.5 miles at a moderate pace. Elevation gain is approximately 600 feet. If the weather promises to be warmer than usual, we will opt for a shadier route.

Wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Consider sunscreen, a hat, and snacks. Restrooms and water are available only at the picnic area near the Sylvan Trailhead. Please plan ahead.

All participants must be registered individually and have approved the liability waiver through Eventbrite.

Group size is very limited. Please cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend so others may have a chance to join us.

We ask folks to register for our hikes in order to keep group sizes manageable, but often we have a few no shows. If you’d like to take a chance, you are welcome to drop-in 10 minutes before the beginning of the hike to see if there is extra room. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm whether there will be space for drop-in hikers in advance. Thank you for your understanding.

We will still hike in light showers, but heavy rain cancels this hike.
