About

Guided by a member of MDC’s Recreation Team, you will hear fascinating stories about our local history and will learn interesting tidbits about the nature surrounding you. Afterward, we’ll all cozy up around a crackling bonfire at the Thompson Homestead to enjoy hot cocoa, apple cider, and s’mores.

Reserve Your Spot!

Cold Weather Policy: If temperatures fall below zero, we may cancel or reschedule the hike. Full refunds are available if the event is canceled.
