Join Us for our Winter Hiking Series in 2025!
Ready to explore the beauty of winter with us? Our all-star SVT volunteers are leading a series of fun, guided hikes/walks to showcase different SVT trailheads. It’s the perfect chance to discover our trails, make new friends, and enjoy the comfort of hiking in a group!
Meeting location will change each week. All of the hikes are on Saturdays and start at 10am. Please see description of hikes below for dates:
