Event Description:
Let’s meet for a SPOOKY HIKE, and GeoChatting!
When: Saturday, October 26th @ 10:30am
Where: Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park –Bloody Knife trail
Why: For the fourth year, the North Dakota Park & Recreation Department (NDPRD) has issued a statewide “12 Months – 12 Hikes” Challenge. To participate, just pick and hike a qualifying trail in one of the 14 participating state parks and recreation areas. You can complete your hikes all in one park or explore any of 14 locations across the state. NEW THIS YEAR - the challenge is going mobile! There will be a fresh hiking challenge every season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) of 2024 through the new North Dakota State Park mobile app. Make it your goal to hike at least three trails each season.
The North Dakota Geocaching Association (NDGCA) would like to help everyone complete their hiking challenge and climb the leaderboard. To do this, we will be hosting an event in a different state park each month, so we can get together with other geocachers and hike.
What: Come in a HALLOWEEN costume for a spooky good time. We will meet at the parking area near the trailhead. We will chat a little before hiking the Bloody Knife Trail (we will wait till 10:40am to start hiking), the hike is just a bit under 2 miles long. I'll have some spooky snacks & drink following the hike.
Reminders: A daily pass ($7) or annual ND state park pass ($35) is required to enter. Dress for the weather/trails
