Holy Hike 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 4 at Fairfax’s Royal Lake

We hope you can join us for our next Holy Hike – at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, walking around scenic Royal Lake in Fairfax. Note, this pretty, neighborhood lake has four parking lots scattered around its shores. Let’s meet at the lot at Lakeside Park, 5216 Pommeroy Drive. It has about 20 parking slots. If, by chance, they’re all filled, then simply park on the street and walk about 50 yards down to the lot.

This will likely be our shortest hike of the year – 1.9 miles. So, it’ll be a shortie, but a goodie. The trail is mostly flat with just a few steps along the way and a grassy incline up to the dam. It’s dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your four-footed friend on a leash. This will be a great place to start the day with some exercise and wonderful camaraderie. Sunny skies are forecast. And yes, it may be a little chilly, but empty out the closet, bundle up and we’ll be in great shape. As a wise person once said, the hardest part about exercising in winter is getting out the front door.

For your convenience, we’ll carpool from St. Christopher’s lower lot at 9:15 a.m. See you there! Questions? Contact Jim Bradshaw at jim.bradshaw@cox.net.
