Stay fit and have fun with these conditioning hikes (expect to sweat). These hikes are for adults who desire 6-7 miles of brisk-paced hiking with hills and steps, and fields and streams. One group will hike a 4-mile per hour pace, and two or three other groups will hike a slightly less intense pace. Our goal is to keep moving and provide everyone with a good workout, so there will only be a quick break along the way to change layers, stretch or catch a drink. Be stretched and ready to go. Join through www.meetup.com. We may have to cancel this hike due to weather, so always be sure to check your email before you head out. Cincinnati Nature Center members are free; non-members pay daily admission.

Join us for a night hike for teens 13-18 years old! Hike through slightly spookier trails and see a different side of the Nature Center that not many get to see. We’ll explore the nighttime woods before meeting the famous Bug Chicks for your chance to investigate how these entomologists hunt for bugs with their insect lures and lights. Hang out with friends, then get up close and personal with some very cool insects like moths and praying mantids!
