With more than 20 guided hikes for a variety of skill levels and interests, the festival offers unforgettable experiences through forests, shoreline vistas, and escarpment landscapes. Enjoy a lively weekend featuring a welcome reception, inspiring keynote dinner with renowned outdoorsman Kevin Callan, local art, community events, and a silent auction — all centered around this year’s theme: “Common Ground: A Celebration of Trail, Place, and Belonging.”
