Choose Your Walk—Relax or Adventure

• Social Stroll (45 minutes): Enjoy a relaxed, beginner-friendly walk that’s perfect for casual conversation and meeting new people. This option is ideal if you’re looking to break the ice in a low-pressure setting, whether you’re coming alone or with friends.

• Nature Hike (2 hours): If you’re ready to explore further, join our adventurous group for trails, views, and fresh air. A little more physical but still designed for all skill levels, this hike is a great way to bond over shared experiences in the outdoors.
