Thursday Night Hikes - Western Mass Summer 2020


Every Thursday at 5:30pm!

Thursday Night Hikes have always been about building community. We hope that during a time when many are feeling isolated, we can bring at least a small number of people together to enjoy the outdoors and share in this time of need.

Thursday Night Hikes are open to those who live within 40 miles of the hike location. All participants are required to bring their own mask and hand sanitizer, as well as the usual water, bug spray, and headlamp. Due to the limited number of hikers (we will have no more than 8 per hike including TVOP Instructors), a $5 non-refundable donation is required to save a spot. Please keep in mind that claiming a spot takes that spot away from someone else. For this reason, if a hiker needs to cancel, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. All hikers must also sign our online waivers prior to the hike.

PLEASE be mindful of your own and group safety. If you or anyone in your household are experiencing any symptoms, do not participate in a hike.

All of our hikes this summer are under 3.5 miles and will last approximately 2 hours. The list will be updated frequently.

Previous registration required!
