Urban Hike — Lake Harriet (Bde Unma) , United States

Sat, 9:30amFeb 252023

Max Trip Size: 15 people

Description:

Ol’ Man Winter’s not done yet! Join me for a winter hike around Lake Harriet (Dakota name – Bde Unma) on Saturday morning. Maybe we’ll be lucky, and it will be snowing while we’re hiking.

We’ll meet at 9:30 a.m. at the intersection of Lake Harriet Parkway and West Minnehaha Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55409 (4801 Lake Harriet Parkway). This is by the southeast part of the lake. (Warning! This is a different place than I’ve had people meet me before!) I will be waiting near the walking path that goes around the lake. We’ll plan to hike for about an hour at a moderate pace (3 mph?), and maybe do about 3ish miles. Parking is available along Lake Harriet Parkway as well as West Minnehaha or the neighborhood. We will hike counterclockwise (hiking north towards the bandshell). If you’re running late, you could park along the route nearer the Rose Garden/Bandshell and meet us.

The weather could be brisk, so dress for it and wear appropriate footwear. Bring your favorite beverage (maybe coffee or hot chocolate in that thermos) and a snack if you want. You might want to bring a hiking pole in case it would be helpful with ice.

For those who want to socialize more afterwards, Patisserie 46 is about a mile away on 46^th Street. (To get home, you can continue down 46^th Street to 35W. Or go south down to 50^th Street.)

You do not need to be a member to come on day trips. But if you are not a current member, please be sure to submit the trip waiver at the bottom of this posting. (Thanks!)

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM GIVING UP CERTAIN RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT.

SUMMARY: You agree to not hold us, including our trip coordinators and board members responsible for anything that happens at a Rover Activity unless we are intentionally or willfully negligent.

In consideration of the risk of injury while participating in Minnesota Rovers Outdoors Club (“MN Rovers”) “Activities.” I hereby, on behalf of myself, my heirs, representatives, successors, executors, and administrators knowingly and voluntarily enter into this waiver and release of liability and hereby waive any and all rights, claims or causes of action arising out of my participation in the “Activity,” and do hereby release and forever discharge MN Rovers, their affiliates, managers, members, agents, attorneys, staff, volunteers, heirs, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (the “indemnities”), for any physical or psychological injury, including but not limited to illness, paralysis, death, damages, economical or emotional loss, that I may suffer as a direct result of my participation in the aforementioned “Activity,” including traveling to and from an event related to this Activity. I assume all related risks, both known or unknown to me, of my participation in this “Activity.”

SUMMARY: You agree to reimburse us if we get sued by you or someone on your behalf in connection with an MN Rovers activity.

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless MN Rovers against any and all claims, suits or actions for liability, damages, compensation or otherwise brought by me or anyone on my behalf, including attorney’s fees and any related costs, if litigation arises pursuant to any claims made by me or by anyone else acting on my behalf. If MN Rovers incurs any of these types of expenses, I agree to reimburse MN Rovers.

I acknowledge that the “indemnities” are not responsible for errors, omissions, acts or failures to act of any party or entity conducting a specific event or activity on behalf of MN Rovers.

SUMMARY: You are financially responsible for your own medical care as well as damage to equipment or facilities caused by you.

In the event that I should require medical care or treatment, I agree to be financially responsible for any costs incurred as a result of such treatment. I am aware and understand that I should carry my own health insurance. In the event that any damage to equipment or facilities occurs as a result of my or my family’s willful actions, neglect or recklessness, I acknowledge and agree to be held liable for any and all costs associated with any actions of neglect or recklessness.

Both the Participants and MN Rovers agree that this Agreement is clear and unambiguous as to its terms, and that no other evidence will be used or admitted to alter or explain the terms of this Agreement, but that it will be interpreted based on the language in accordance with the purposes for which it is entered into. I also understand that if any portion of this release and waiver is deemed overreaching or void for any reason, all other portions not deemed overreaching or void remain valid and in effect. If a court should find that any provision of this agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting said provision it would become valid and enforceable, then said provision shall be deemed to be written, construed and enforced as so limited.

I have read this release and waiver of liability and understand that I am giving up certain rights by signing it. I fully understand its content, and that this release cannot be modified orally. I am signing it voluntarily and freely and am at least 18 years of age, or as a legal guardian agreeing on behalf of my minor child/ren, and am competent to sign. I understand that this release does not apply to any intentional, willful, or wanton acts on the part or on any of the “indemnities.” I also understand that if any portion of this release and waiver is deemed overreaching or void for any reason, all other portions not deemed overreaching or void remain valid and in effect.
