Hike with Me Saturday: Arabia Mountain

Hey trail queens (and kings)! 💕

This Galentine’s SaturDay, we’re celebrating in outdoorsy style at Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve, a magical place that’s equal parts stunning and historic. This 3.8-mile moderate loop will take us across granite peaks, through lush forests, and deep into the heart of Black history that’s rooted in this beautiful area.

Galentine’s Trail Vibes:

Wear your favorite hoodie, shirt, or accessory—whatever makes you feel confident! It’s Galentine’s Day, so let’s celebrate YOU. Whether it’s bright pink, bold red, or totally your own vibe, show up in your favorite fit and let’s disconnect to reconnect.

This hike isn’t just about getting outdoors—it’s about building connections, celebrating resilience, and having fun in the process. Because that's what life's all about! So grab your bestie, your squad, or come solo—you’ll find your tribe here.

Let’s make this Galentine’s Day unforgettable with nature, history, and a whole lot of love. I can’t wait to vibe with y’all on the trails! 💖

Please plan to bring with you: snacks/a lite lunch, plenty of water, and your great vibes!

What to Bring:

Water, hydration drinks, snacks, and a light lunch. First-Aid supplies, any medications you may need, trekking poles for stability. Hammocks, journals, and blankets welcomed. Let’s keep ourselves energized while being mindful of sustainability!

Mindful Tips:

• Be sure to wear sturdy footwear with good grip and support; dressing in layers that can be easily added or removed for your comfort while moving.

• Pack a lunch w/ protein packed snacks, to enjoy and fuel up while taking in the spectacular views.

• It can be chilly when we stop, so layer up and bring something warm for when we stop, before looping back around.

• Leave No Trace: Pack out what you bring on the trails.

• Leave nature as you find it - leaving rocks, leaves, trees, mushrooms, and flowers on the trail.

• Be respectful of others, wildlife, and nature!

• Pause for a moment of gratitude and reflection near the waterfall.
