History of the Area
It’s an eye-opening experience when you take a walk in a mountain meadow or through the forest with Brenda Holder.
She can point to and identify any plant, tree or bush and tell you how it can be used to make something crucial to survival – a fire cider for a flu or cold, a food source or a fire starter.
Currently Booking Fall and Winter Walks
With the seasons in shift, Medicine Walks will likely involve winter conditions going forward. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
- Bring extra layers, hat, gloves, back pack, wind/water shell, winter boots, sunglasses, water, Kleenex (for drippy noses from the cold) and a camera
- If there is ice on the trail, the guide may bring along ice cleats
- Cooler weather just means a whole new experience from summer!
