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:
Squaxin Park, Thursday, September 24 – Join Interfaith Works for a community healing ritual from 12 noon-1 pm. Following this, we will enjoy our sack lunch prior to walking one of the many beautiful nature trails. Meet at Shelter 1 by the rose garden at noon.
Tumwater Falls, Thursday, October 1 – Come walk the approximate 1-mile loop at Tumwater Falls and view the amazing Chinook salmon spawning. Meet at the park entrance at 12noon

Mima Falls/Capital Forest mindfulness hike, Saturday, October 10, 10:00 a.m. meetup for carpool. “Mima” is believed to be a Native American word meaning “a little further along.”. Well-maintained trail with 600 ft elevation gain through forest and wetlands. The round trip is 5.5 miles, with an optional additional mile. A mindfulness hike supports our physical and mental well-being.
South Capitol neighborhood walk, Sunday, October 25, 6:30-7:30 p.m. View homes decorated with fun and spooky trimmings for Halloween 🎃 . Includes a visit to the Pumpkin House and an option for a dinner gathering beforehand. The Pumpkin House is a long‑running Olympia Halloween tradition where the Sheeran family and friends display over 100 elaborately carved pumpkins, drawing thousands of visitors and raising funds for the local food bank.
