DURATION / DIFFICULTY:
This about 3-miles out (Bridge Trail 1.6 miles rated "easy") with beautiful waterfall views followed by a second trail (Little River Canyon Trail 1.4 miles, rated "easy") to take a dip in the swimming area known as Hippie Hole. I hear there are some stairs! Then we'll walk back the same way to our cars again.
Our member Natalie says they typically spend 2-3 hours at the swimming area and that there's a lot to explore if you keep going down along the rocks.
MEETING LOCATION:
Little River Canyon Center
4322 Little River Canyon Rim Pkwy
Fort Payne, AL 35967
BRING:
✔️Shoes with good tread
✔️Sunscreen, shades, hat
✔️Water bottle
✔️Light clothing as it may be quite hot
✔️Swimsuit & towel (if desired)
✔️Snacks or a whole bag lunch
✔️A small backpack may be nice to have
KIDS:
Children are welcome as long as they are old enough to keep up on this hike or can be carried on your back
PETS:
Dogs are allowed. Your dog must stay on a leash that is 6 feet or shorter at all times, including while near or in the water.
PARKING:
Free, last time we checked
FORMAT:
2:00pm - Arrive and bring everything you need in a backpack
2:15pm - Circle up for introductions, intention setting and subtle sacrament
2:30pm - Movement and mindfulness practice when we find some open green space (Thai Chi or Qi Gong) led by one of our members -- beginner friendly
3:00pm - Hike ending at "hippie hole," play in the water and have lunch / picnic and discussion
5:30pm - Begin return trip back to parking lot
6:00pm - Closing circle and departure
The focus of this gathering is communion with sacrament at a level that everyone will be present and feel more connected to each other and nature.
Expect an elevated mood and sense of well-being.
The vibe will be warm and supportive. We always end up in the deep end of existential topics.
We lead with vulnerability and we welcome yours.
