Veterans Hike at Chapman Mountain

(Moderate / around 1.5 hours / a little more than 2 miles)  We invite all of our veterans and their guests to join us at the Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve as we hike a couple of miles through mixed forest and terrain.  Some flats and some hills — a great way to spend part of the afternoon.   We’ll start at the pavilion, then walk the Driskell Trail around the disc golf course.  We’ll grab the Moonshine Trail just long enough to get us to the Terry Trail.  We’ll take the Terry Trail north, then bring it back to the south to finish up on the Whole Planet Trail and a different part of the Moonshine Trail. Stay after the hike to enjoy free refreshments at Terry Pavilion!

Trail conditions are generally good with some rocks, roots, and step-ups along the route.
