Join Ranger Meaghen O’Rourke on a lovely hike along Green Springs Mountain Loop trail. This generally easy 3-mile loop hike will take you through serene forestscapes and across mountain meadow areas. This will be an early morning hike with a focus on nature connection. The hike will give participants time to individually connect and reflect with our environment during our sit spot at the viewpoint as we watch the sun slowly become stronger over the valley.
We will meet at 6 a.m. at the Ashland Rite Aid, 2341 Ashland St., and make our way into the Monument from there. Please bring water and snacks. The estimated event time is 3 to 4 hours. Hiking boots are recommended, as there is steeper terrain with loose rock in portions of the trail.
