Info:
Step off the pavement and into the wild... Join us for A Walk in the Woods—a quick-paced, energizing hike through the Arboretum’s scenic and less-traveled trails. We’ll wind through wooded paths, shaded by tall trees and dotted with gentle inclines and twists. Expect a real-deal nature immersion—right in the heart of Houston!
🥾 What to Expect: 🚶♂️ 3–4 miles at a brisk but conversational pace (22–25 min/mile) 🌿 Natural surface trails — expect roots, turns, and light elevation 🤝 No-drop hike — we stay together and no one gets left behind 🧍♀️ Ideal for moderately active hikers and outdoor social butterflies
⏰ Arrive Early! There are 2 paid parking lots at the Arboretum. Plan to arrive by 9:30 AM to park, pay the $6.50 fee, and walk to the Nature Center where we’ll meet.
🎒 What to Bring: ✅ Sturdy walking shoes ✅ Water (hydration is key!) ✅ Bug spray & sunscreen ✅ Layers (optional, depending on weather) ✅ Well-behaved dog? Bring them! 🚫 No kids, please — this is an adults-only event.
🅿️ Parking Info: • $6.50 parking fee (credit card only via kiosk or app) • Allow time to park and walk to the Nature Center
