Nature Walk at Hidden Grove: A Journey to the Big Trees
Hidden Grove is a majestic forested area recognized for a web of hiking trails that features numerous huge, old-growth Douglas fir and cedar trees.

Nature walks offer relaxing, low-impact, and accessible outdoor experiences, often called ecotherapy, that improve mental health and provide gentle exercise.
Join us and Becky Wayte as she guides the walk and discusses wildlife and trees along the route.
