If you’ve never hiked with your children before, please come prepared with a flexible and gracious attitude, a lot of patience, appropriate closed toe shoes, removable layers of clothing, and a lot of snacks and water for them and for you. Hangry is a real thing and snacks are a great way to distract bored or tired kiddos on the trail.

I also recommend an appropriate baby carrier if you’ll be bringing a really young one, and/or an appropriate hiking day pack for your snacks, water, bandaids, sunscreen, diapers/wipes, tissues, small trash bag, etc.

I’m going to ask that you don’t bring dogs on the hikes that we’ll be doing together. In addition, we’ll keep our meetups to just moms and kids, and not spouses, since the group is meant for ladies to connect with each other through Calvary Women’s Ministry. Thanks!!

Our second hike will be Monday, July 18, at Naches Peak Loop. This hike is a bit more strenuous and a little bit longer than the June hike. Here is the link for information on All Trails https://www.alltrails.com/…/wash…/naches-peak-loop-trail.

You will need a pass to get into the national park, there are bathrooms at the trailhead, and because this is a popular trail I would like us all to meet there No Later Than 10am. Here is a link to the Pass https://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/fees.htm.

Please respond to this event and let me know Sunday, July 17 if you plan on coming to this hike so I know who to wait for at the trailhead. We’ll head out on the trail at 10:15am.
