People have asked, “What is a Holy Hike?”
A Holy Hike is more like a spiritual stroll and stational Eucharist combined. It is not intended to be strenuous exercise, but rather a way to connect to the Holy One through the great outdoors. This Holy Hike is will be beautiful with a grassy/dusty/gravel-ly trail that is mostly level. While there are a several options for trails, our hike will be about 2 miles of mostly level Please wear appropriate footwear. Saturday weather is looking fantastic!
