<p>•    Sign up by March 11 at tinyurl.com/winterwanderhikes
<br />•    Free, but limited to 20 people.
<br />•    Recommended for ages 12 and up. 
<br />•    Wander Area: Combs Road (Norman)</p>

<p>Our Wander Series offers off-trail hiking through lesser-known, backcountry, or normally off-limits areas around Monroe Lake. Wander Hikes are guided but there is no pre-determined route. The naturalist sets the meeting location and picks a general direction to head toward - and then we explore together! If you enjoy hiking with others, shared learning, and the freedom of "wandering without a destination," this hike series may be a fit for you. </p>

<p>Hikes generally last about 2 hours but occasionally run over. Hikers should dress for the weather and be prepared for potentially rugged terrain. Registrants will be sent an email with driving directions to the exact meeting location and additional details at least one day prior.</p>
