Walking Adventure Group
We have some fun adventures planned on both Tuesdays and Thursdays for people who are looking to get some exercise and make new friends while enjoying the beauty of Santa Cruz! Walks meet at 9:30 am and aim to return by 11:30 am.
Tuesdays - Enjoy a leisurely walk of a different area each week. The intention of this group is to get outside, move our body, and enjoy nature unfolding.
Thursdays - A slightly faster paced walk for people who enjoy walking 2-4 miles at various elevation gains.
Please go on walks that feel comfortable for you within the corresponding parameters.
