Let's meet for a hike and some GeoChatting!
When: Saturday, August 23rd at 1:30
Where: Icelandic State Park-Shady Spring trail approx 1 mile
Why: For the fifth 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 2025 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: We will meet at the parking area for the visitor center/trainhead. We will chat a little before heading out on the Flicker LoopTrail to hike (we will wait until 1:40pm to start the hiking) The hike is about 1 mile long. I will try to remember water and snacks and possibly a prize or two.
Reminders: A daily pass ($7) or annual ND state park pass ($35) is required to enter. Dress for the weather/trails
