BCO presents A Walk in the Woods Aka Hiking Houston 

October 19, 2019 

Meet at 8:30 AM, start 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM 

Meet at Memorial Park Rugby Field Parking Lot 

N Picnic Lane, Houston, TX 77007 

 

Hiking in Houston does exist! And we’re going to show you by taking you on some ‘hidden’ trails that even some native Houstonians don’t know about!  And, it’s right here, inside the loop!

 

Join us for an hour and a half, quick-paced hike through some of the lesser-known (and more adventuresome) trails our park has to offer. 

 

What to Wear:

These are actual trails!!  Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots, as it’s easy to bang a toe on a tree root. You’ll be shocked at some of the "elevation" in the park that you wouldn’t expect from just driving by.  

Wear long pants, yes, even in the summer.  It helps to protect your legs from bugs, critters and branches that might jump out and bite you!

 

What else to bring:

Water!  Water is required.

Bug Spray

Sun Protection - hat, sun glasses, long sleeves, sunscreen

 

Where to Park:

Please, check the meeting location map (https://bit.ly/2M6GKST ) on the calendar before you head over to the park.  It’s a big park, and we try and leave on time! 

 

If the lot is full, there is plenty of street parking.

 

How to find the group:

Look for the BCO sign for where the parking lot is.  We’ll be on the grass at the back of that parking lot.  (not standing in the parking lot.)

 

Never been before??

No worries!  More than half of the people going have never been before and many people show up by themselves.  So when you show up, if everyone looks like they have known each other for years.... Don’t worry.  They likely just met.  Look for the event leader and then them know it’s your first time and we’ll make sure to take care of you!

Brunch after the Hike

October 19, 2019 - 11 AM - 12:30 PM 

Canyon Creek 

6603 Westcott St 

Houston, TX 77007 

 

Let’s face it. When you go on a hike and you don’t really know anyone, you tend to just talk to the person who’s walking next to you.  And while we try to mix things up on the hike, there’s no better way to get know people than over a little food and drinks!

 

So whether you went on the hike or not, join us for Lunch and drinks at Canyon Creek!  Dogs are allowed on the patio now!!

 

Great good and drinks. 

 

How to find the group:

Look for the Bayou City Outdoor Signs and the group of sweaty people who look like they just hiked!

 

NOTE: Our hike is done about 10:30 am at Memorial Park so if you arrive before us, please grab a table outside. 

 

Parking: 

There is a small parking lot and street parking. Watch for do not park signs near the residential houses and do not leave anything visible in your car.
