New Year's Day hike at Indiana Dunes

By Bob Brubaker


It is getting close to that time of year again, the annual New Year’s Day hike at the Indiana Dunes with the Outings Leaders of the River Prairie Group!

We hope you will consider joining us for this year’s New Year’s Day hike at the Indiana Dunes. Feel the "cool" breeze on your face, breathe in the clean air, listen to the birds singing. Just enjoy being outside. Start out the New Year on the right foot! We will hike about 4 miles, and depending on how we are feeling and the weather, may go for 2 to 4 more on another trail.

Currently, the plan is for mostly inland trails, where it is more sheltered from the winter winds. We will stop briefly for a lunch break on the trail or between hikes by the vehicles.   

This outing is generally held rain, snow, or shine; however, plans may be altered or canceled depending on forecasted conditions, especially if it’s sleeting.

The trip will start at 11 AM Chicago time to give you a bit more time on the holiday. To sign up, please use this online form. 

Just remember to follow the instructions on the site to make sure you sign the digital version of the waiver. Also, a separate signup is needed for each person coming.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. FYI, the signup will probably close by December 22 if not sooner if filled up. Bob Brubaker, nlubob@yahoo.com
