Description
Join one of our guides to introduce you to local Bellingham Parks as we explore the trails that connect them. We will help individuals use their senses in nature through a mindfulness lens as part of the experience.
This experience is part of our regularly scheduled hikes in local parks to help you get outside and unwind in nature with our guides leading the way. This is our invitation for you to join us and your opportunity to connect with others in the outdoor community and nature.
