Overview

Join us as we explore a number of the less-traveled trails where we will discover some of the hidden gems from the Far East and Europe. This will be a five to six mile meander at a moderate pace with many interpretive stops along the route. Highlights will include hilltop vistas, an amazing bonsai exhibit (with specimens dating back to the 1700's!) and the "Explorer's Garden". During this time of year many trees are in full-bloom (including the lilacs!) at this "tree museum". We will limit the group to 15 participants, plus the leaders, so please register early. Bring water, lunch or snack, sturdy-waterproof footwear, sunscreen, and insect repellent. A steady rain will cancel the trip. Well behaved dogs on leash are O.K.
