Outdoor Adventure Group
If you enjoy going for walks, hikes, garden tours, and more, Crystal Vernon and Beth Thompson invite you to join them on a variety of outdoor adventures for all fitness levels.
We have a few upcoming outings (see below). Our plan is to hike/walk rain or shine. After all, we live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Here is the schedule for upcoming events:
Watershed Park, Thursday, November 5. This is a Forest walk in Olympia with some uneven ground and boardwalk. Walking poles suggested. Approximately 1.5 miles round trip with 150 feet of elevation gain. Due to limited parking at the trailhead, let’s plan to meet at Marathon Park (1011 Deschutes Pkwy SW) at 1 p.m. and carpool to the site. For those interested, we plan to go for coffee/tea afterward.
Millersylvania State Park, Hike on Saturday, November 14. Mostly flat, 5 miles round-trip with 200 ft. elevation gain. Old-growth cedar, fir, and wetlands with boardwalk. Carpools will be determined once we know who’s joining and meetup will be at 10 am. Discover Pass required. Millersylvania State Park is a 903‑acre old‑growth forest camping park on 17-feet-deep – Deep Lake, just south of Olympia, and is notable for its park structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the Great Depression of the 1930s. The park is within the traditional territories of Coast Salish Indigenous people.
