Our September hike is a variation of Self Led Hike #14 created by Hans Steuch in 2021. We will leave Jackson MS and go up the steps to the west, cross 40th then up the Galeburn steps to Markham School. We’ll join Trail 7 to PCC Sylvania, wander a bit on campus and then walk through Lesser Park. We then cross Kerr Parkway at the PCC entrance and head down (north) to Loll Wildwood Natural Area exiting Loll towards 35th. Hikers who would like to end their participation can return to Jackson Middle School, otherwise the hike will do a victory loop up Dickinson St. through Maricara Natural Area on the south side and north side trails and back to JMS.
Bring a snack, water, good footwear, sunglasses, and rain gear as appropriate. Dress and prepare for the weather on hike day. Children and well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome. For health reasons, there is no smoking on SWTrails walks and hikes. If you need to leave the hike early let a hike leader know. We try to find a restroom along the way, but it’s not always possible to do so.
Looking forward to seeing you there with us.
