Relax and Unwind during Heart Hikes at Ritchey Woods
Fishers is a community buzzing with energy, and yet, sometimes it’s important to slow down and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. Heart Hikes return Friday, Feb. 5 from 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 6 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve and offer two convenient opportunities for residents of all ages to unwind and escape some of life’s everyday stresses.
Coordinated with Hamilton Southeastern School’s 2016 calendar, Heart Hikes fall on a half day allowing students, faculty and families in the community an opportunity to participate. Hikes are free to attend, and anyone is welcome to stop by during the program. Photographs of natural hearts line trails through the preserve offering a self-guided experience complete with a campfire and hot cocoa at the shelter. Heart Hikes welcome individuals embarking on a solo-serenity hike, couples enjoying time together, the business community during their lunch break, and families seeking quality time together.
Planning to stop by on Friday, Feb. 5? Consider bringing a book to donate to the Little Free Libraries that are in some of our parks. During the Heart Hike on Friday, HSE Destination Imagination students from Riverside Intermediate School will be collecting books to raise awareness about their Little Free Libraries and Trail Etiquette Program. The team will be presenting their project to a statewide audience in March. Learn more about Destination Imagination by visiting their website.
