12:45 pm Meet in front of Visitor Center, 10145 E Bush Lake Rd, Bloomington, MN. Please note: This is not Richardson Nature Center.
We will start hiking at 1:00.
Join me for a easygoing afternoon of hiking in Hyland Park on the dirt hiking trails. This hike will have two parts. The first hike will leave the Visitor Center on the Lake Trail, about halfway around the Lake Trail we will leave the Lake Trail and head into a bit of a hillier section that goes further south in the park and then returns to the Lake and the Visitor Center. This first hike is 3 miles long with an elevation gain of 207’.
The second hike will continue from the Visitor Center and head north on dirt trails for an additional 1 or 2.5 mile loop, both of these loops return to the Visitor Center.
