June’s Light Hike will be to the brand-new trail in John’s Creek called the Boardwalk at Town Center! The City has done a wonderful job creating a new trail that connects from City Hall through a series of gorgeous lakes. This isn’t really a hike – it’s more of a walk in the park with friends. **If you are new to Echo, we can’t wait to meet you. This is a perfect way to get outside and enjoy meeting new people. We will do a brief meet & greet before the hike so you will be sure to meet some other people from your part of town.** This will be an easy hike with a difficulty level of D-1 with a distance of 2 miles. For your sake and the sake of the group, please do not assume beyond your ability.
