Event Calendar

Unless otherwise noted, all Trails Club events are free and open to the public, and leashed dogs are welcome. And in case you're wondering (or worried), the pace of our walks is relaxed (like everything else about the Club). We go out to explore and enjoy the trails, and aren't trying to set speed records for completing the routes. We stop from time to time to point out interesting things, or to let folks catch up, or catch our breath, and we make sure no one falls behind. There's more information about our walks on the FAQ page.

Walks & Gatherings

• Friday, April 4, 9AM: Center Trail workday. A crew from Dell will be working on the Center Trail, clearing winter debris from the drainage ditches and replacing a culvert at the junction with the Middle School XC trail. While this is primarily a community service event for the Dell folks, anyone else is welcome to come and lend a hand. Meet at the Loop Road end of the trail.
