Highlights

Come out for a midsummer stroll. We will explore the 0.75-mile red loop trail at The Institute for American Indian Studies (IAIS). The terrain is fairly easy, with some rocks and tree roots. We will follow a leisurely pace for moms-to-be, families with young children, and anyone who enjoys casual walks. Bring your curiosity and love of nature; we will be keeping an eye out for interesting plants, wildlife, and other natural features. Towards the end, we will take time to investigate the replicated Algonkian Village on the trail.

 

Inclement weather (and forecast) cancels.

Directions

Located at the end of Curtis Road, which is just off of Route 199 in Washington.
