How do you tackle life’s biggest obstacles when you see a huge challenge in front of you? Do you take a moment to take in the reality of what is before you. FEAR is false evidence appearing real. It is the culmination of lots of little hills that make up only the big one your mind allows you to see and are intimidated by.

Our day hike and rock scramble is a metaphor for challenging those obstacles, because if you watch you’ll see kids take this on with gusto. It’s not because they are more agile, you are too. It is because they are fearless. Imagine what your life, career or business would be like if you were fearless?

The Sun rises before you each day but each day I find many sitting in the shadows of their despair and wandering aimlessly off the path they seek to be on. It’s time to rediscover your path, yourself, and tune into that inner chatter box so you can defy what no longer will hold you back.

Our hike is a combination of trails, carriage ways, boulder fields, boulder caves, and a rock scramble climb (bypass available).

The rock scramble is easy for most adults and children although can be psychologically challenging especially for adults who have amassed many fears and built negative associations through their lifetime, yet once you make it past the irrational blocks you begin to feel you can conquer anything.

The scramble appears incredibly impossible although when you look at it in its more real and tangible components by chunking it down to what you are actually tackling one footstep at a time is a breeze.. one foot in front of the other as they say when learning how to walk.

Ride shares available depending on drivers. The contribution is $20. The ride is approximately 1:45 min.

In case of rain forecast, the decision will be confirmed Friday as to start time or cancellation.
