Sunday reset with East Coast Hikers! 🥾🌿 We had 10 hikers hit the Cape Henry Trail at First Landing State Park this morning, completing an impressive 10.65 miles in about 3.5 hours! Beautiful sunshine, minimal bugs, gorgeous views, and great energy from start to finish. ☀️ We even spotted plenty of little fiddler crabs along the way! 🦀 Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such an awesome morning, and a big thank you to Emily for hosting this hike! Until the next adventure! ✨

A deceptively humid morning at Warhill Trail in Williamsburg, VA! 🥾 The temps weren’t high, but that humidity definitely made itself known. 🙃 We knocked out 3.7 miles with a great group of 11 hikers and 2 pups 🐶 Beautiful trails, great company, and another ECH hike in the books! Thanks to everyone who came out, and thank you, Aaron, for hosting this hike!

We had a great ECH turnout at Sunset Views & Brews at Jamestown Settlement Friday night! 🌅 Lisa’s niece even drove up from Mooresville, NC to join us! We even had a four-legged hiker join the fun. 🐶 The sunset definitely showed off, and it was a great evening with good people, beautiful views, and some brews afterward. 🍻 Huge thanks to Alex and Ed for capturing and sharing these awesome photos since Lisa’s phone battery was dying and she couldn’t take any. 🙃 Thanks for hosting this, Lisa! Until next time!
