At the start of 2020, Ausbon Sargent made the decision to cancel all group-led hikes to help lessen the spread of the Covid-19 virus. To entice people to get outside and explore in a safe environment, we put together a "Do it Yourself" hiking experience. The first hiking series was put together in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Due to the popularity of this program, we created a couple more of these series - even one for snowshoeing! We hope you enjoy your adventures and that if you have a favorite photo or story from your exploration of our special places, you'll share it with us!
