We checked out Monument Mountain and Grass Lake this weekend – it was a bit harder than our usual hikes with some steep hills, but it was a good one!
Sunny day, a fun crew of people, it was a great day. See you all next month!

I always love coming back to this trail at Goldstream Park. Some challenging inclines paired with thick vegetation, gorgeous waterfalls… and a great group of ppl to enjoy it with.
Another successful @outinthewoodsvi.bsky.social day!
