Santa Ysabel Hike 'n Pie

Join us as we journey to the Santa Ysabel Nature Center Loop Trail for a Hike 'n Pie event! We’ll meet at the Santa Ysabel Nature Center at 8:30 a.m. and embark on a 5-mile hike through the preserve. We'll stop at the halfway point and worship in God's creation. We may also encounter wildlife and cattle. To honor everyone's time, the hike starts at 8:45 a.m. sharp.

This hike is moderate-to-difficult with some hills. Elevation gain is 873 feet at an altitude of 3,511 feet. Please self-evaluate your fitness and hiking levels before attempting this hike.

Afterwards, we’ll go to Dudley’s Bakery and/or Julian Pie Co. for lunch and pie.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble - Psalms 46:1

You are welcome to hike at your own pace. However, if you fall behind the group or miss the start of the hike, it is your responsibility to complete the hike on your own.

You must sign the Rock Church waiver form to participate on this hike.
