Crafting in Nature - Free 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! 

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.
• All hikes are FREE; however, some locations require a parking fee! 
• 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).

What to Bring

• A project of course!
• Money for parking. Although most places accept a credit card nowadays, some don't, or some machines are down, so always bring cash! We recommend a $10 bill AND an assortment of $5's and $1's.
• Water
• Snacks/lunch
• Sunhat or warm hat depending on weather
• Wear Layers
• Sunscreen
• Cellphone
• Card in your backpack with an emergency contact list in case anything happens.
• Any medications you may need (ie: for asthma, diabetes, etc).

These are simply local hikes that I am organizing for like-minded people to get outside and make friends! I am not a professional trail guide, and have no formal training with leading outdoor groups. Please come with the intention to simply enjoy company and nature.
