Description
Join one of our guides to introduce you to local Bellingham Parks and explore the trails that make up these areas. We will help individuals use their senses in nature through a mindfulness lens as part of the experience.
Explore the Padden Ridge trails on this adventure. These trails are quite popular with mountain bikers and equestrians. Enjoy a new vantage point of Lake Padden as we will ascend in elevation high above the lake.
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.
