Looking for a relaxed after-work reset on trail? Join us for a casual evening hike along the South Fork Valley Trail, known for its gentle terrain, winding river views, and classic Eagle River scenery. We’ll head out to the bridge at mile 2.2 before returning to the cars. Want to go farther toward Symphony or Eagle Lakes? Totally optional—this is a no-pressure, all-paces welcome kind of hike.

Perfect for beginners, newer TrailMates, or anyone craving fresh air, movement, and mellow connection midweek. Moose sightings are common; bear sightings are not—but bring awareness as always. 🅿️ Parking Info: South Fork Eagle River Trailhead parking area (State Parks pass required or pay at the lot).

👋 Come meet new people, soak in the beauty of Eagle River Valley, and enjoy a refreshing evening outside.

✨ RSVP required to help us keep group size manageable for our volunteer leaders and to stay informed of any last-minute updates!
