Our hikes are easy, usually 3 to 5 miles on Thursday mornings. Although our hikes are easy, we often have some “Snails” who are a bit slower and don’t want to walk as far. Perfect for newcomers or anyone acclimating! We want everyone to feel comfortable enjoying our beautiful mountains with us.
Only during the winter, spring and fall months, we use an email list to send out hikes, trailhead directions, time and suggested equipment (boots, poles, snowshoes, yaktrax, spikes) depending on the weather and trail conditions. Our hikes continue to take place on Thursday mornings, but the times may change. Emails are sent a day or two before the hike with location and time. This email list will be used throughout the offseason fall, winter and spring months. To be added to the email list, please send your name and email address to Pat Kopystianskyj (pkopysti@comcast.net)

Tuesdays, 8:30 AM | June – Mid October
Summit Older Bushwhackers (SOBs) do intermediate backcountry trail hikes on Tuesdays, mostly in Summit County. These typically range from 4 – 7 miles and with 400 – 1500 ft of elevation gain. They are led by volunteer trip leaders, usually a different leader each week. We meet from June through mid October, weather permitting. We usually leave the car-pool location at 8:30 and are back between 12 and (rarely) 2 pm. For more information, call Jim Fleshman at 281-507-1059 or email rjftex@gmail.com.
Canceled indefinitely
Evidence has shown Dr. Paul Lam’s Tai Chi for Arthritis program helps prevent falls and improves health and the quality of life for older adults. Tai chi movements appear gentle and graceful, but they contain much power and internal strength. This is an excellent opportunity to come and learn more about this exercise. Facilitator Kim Greene will review the basic principles of tai chi and provide a demonstration of its fundamental forms.
Mondays & Fridays, 10:00AM – 11:15AM
Melinda’s yoga classes vary depending on who shows up and what their experience is, and what their expectations are for the day. It is truly a community-centered offering!
Typically, one can expect the practice to include breathing, moving in coordination with breathing, balancing, strengthening and stretching. The classes begin and end with mindfulness and intention and the students “tune in” with mantras and close with a song. Melinda teaches from her experiences with Kundalini, Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin yoga, and offers and encourages modifications and even chair yoga.
All levels are welcome. Most people leave a $5 contribution for the instructor as she is not paid. Mats are available.
Every Tuesday & Thursday, 12:30 p.m.
Meal reservations are required by 9 a.m. the day of the meal. Reservations may be made by clicking on the link below or by calling the SCCSC Front Desk at (970) 668-2940.
