Crafting in Nature - Hiking Group | One Sunday A Month

Join us for a monthly hike in Northern California where we encourage you to bring a craft project (knitting, crochet, spinning, embroidery, etc). Each month we'll be exploring a new place! 

Recommended donation $5 -15/person/hike

This event is free, but we accept donations to help cover our admin and leadership costs associated with hosting this event. You may send donations via Venmo to @illuminangel (if prompted: last four phone digits 9020). 

PLEASE ONLY RSVP if you plan to attend! We limit the number of spaces and RSVPing to events that you won't attend really affects our turn out! If you RSVP and can't attend, please communicate with us so we can free up your space to someone else.

What to Expect

• Most hikes will be beginner to intermediate and we will hike at a medium pace. 
• Most hikes will have some incline and be on dirt, or uneven ground. Make sure you're stable on your feet, with some endurance. 
• Most hikes are approximately 2 hours, some longer, some shorter.
• Some locations require a parking fee to be paid at the parking lot ($7-$10)
• Review the list to find out level and duration of the hike.
• All hikes are subject to cancellation or reschedule due to weather (excessive heat, rain, etc).
• We will have a waiver and release of liability for you to sign at your first hike.
