Love reading? Love hiking? Love chatting about books with other hikers? Join us for an afternoon hike and book discussion! Let’s celebrate the season—read a book/poem/short story/essay focused on snow or winter. You can find a list of books on Amazon or try some of the following suggestions:
Snow Falling on Cedars – David Guterson
The Snow Queen – Hans Christian Andersen
Winter Garden – Kristin Hannah
A Place called Winter – Patrick Gale
Winter – Ali Smith
Run – Ann Patchett
The Snow Hare – Paula Lichtarowicz
How to Winter – Kari Leibowitz
We will walk on both Forbidden Drive and the wooded trails around Andorra/Houston Meadows during this 4- 5 mile hike. If you can’t get to (or finish) a book, come anyway! You might get a few good book recommendations, and you will always have a chat with other FOW hikers. We will meet at the corner of Northwestern Ave and Forbidden Drive. Dress in layers for the weather and bring along water and snacks as needed. The walk will be at a moderate pace and there will be some hills.
Distance: 4.5 miles
Level: Moderate (some inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Audience: 18 years old and up
