There is nothing quite like a brisk walk and a breath of fresh air on a crisp autumn morning! Please join us for our 19th annual Walking Thru Autumn hiking series. Each week 60-90 participants gather for a guided hike to take in the beauty of fall and explore some of the 30+ miles of Park District trails. Upon completing 6 out of the 8 offered hikes, participants will receive a 2025 Metro Parks hiking stick medallion. Hand-made wood hiking sticks are available for $10. All hikes start at 9 am, last approximately 1.5 hours and will be on easy to moderate terrain.
Register online at www.jampd.com. September 6th marks the first hike; however, participants may register as late as September 19th for the final 6 hikes. Registrations and walk-ins after this date are encouraged but will not be eligible for the hiking stick medallion.
Come enjoy the beauty of fall in your Parks!
