​Frequently Asked Questions

How strenuous will it be?


Is it still on if it is raining?




​
​
​What should one bring?


If I need to leave early is that ok?

The walks are not strenuous at all. We cover a maximum of about 3/4 miles, often less, over a period of two to three hours, on easy trail. 

​The walk will still be on if it's raining, unless it is a really big downpour or there are sufficient winds that the chances of limbs falling from trees is significantly increased. If it is raining it's important to have a waterproof shell including pants, and many people bring umbrellas also.  Rain often enhances sensory experience and makes for some of our most memorable walks.

We suggest bringing a snack or light lunch and water bottle, or if the day is cold you might want to consider bringing a thermos with a hot drink. 

People do sometimes leave early, just let your guide know when you are leaving.
