Please join us for a 6-7 mile hike in Crow-Hassen Park Reserve:
Located on the Crow River, this park offers an uninterrupted expanse of peaceful wilderness. Among the scenery, the restored prairie is a year-round attraction for its ever-changing color palette. Miles of trails wind through the park reserve and give an opportunity to spot wildlife like deer, fox, coyotes, trumpeter swans, hawks and bald eagles.
We will be hiking a big loop around the park, all on natural surface trails. About 2 miles into the hike, we will stop at a group camp for a short lunch break. Please bring your own food and water. This hike is on Friday to take advantage of the warmer predicted temps. We will be on snow-packed trails. Please be prepared for the possibility of slush, mud, or ice (wear shoe cleats). One way to handle wet snow is to place a plastic bag between layers of socks, with wool on the outside of the bag, since it provides insulation even when wet.
A limited number of well-behaved dogs are welcome. Please contact me if you plan to bring a dog.
Please send me an email or text if you are planning to come in case of last-minute changes. Non-Rovers are welcome if they submit the online liability waiver below.
Here is the meeting place! The parking lot where we meet is a short drive in from the park entrance at 12595 Park Dr, Rogers, MN 55374
