5 Miler Night Hike: Towson

Because a number of parks containing trails close at sunset, does not mean ceasing our hiking activities and health goals on a weekday. Thus, now through March 2025, we are providing weekday urban night hikes.

We will experience Towson's beautiful neighborhoods & venture through some wooded trails. Bring a headlamp, mobile phone with flashlight, etc. for added illumination.

Nice temperatures in the upper 60s expected.

Definitely bring a great social attitude and a fun spirit. Also come with water.

EVERYONE submitting a RSVP for this hike will START on the Waitlist. Next, we will add consistently reliable members and then attempt to give others a chance to participate.

PLEASE READ detailed information below in "NOTE", "SUGGESTED MATERIALS", "WHERE TO MEET", "RSVP COMMON COURTESY" and "DOGS" (Thanks!).

NOTE: This is primarily a paved terrain hike. There are a few fun hills (Elevation Gain @ approximately 375 feet). This is a hike for those who hike or walk at least 5 miles per week at a moderate pace. If you have challenges going up and down hills then this hike may not be for you. Also please RSVP only if you can maintain a medium pace during the hike. THANKS.

RSVP COMMON COURTESY: Only RSVP if you intend to make the hike a priority, not just an option. Specifically, it is Not fair to take a confirmed spot, then cancel less than 48 hours in advance, limiting your fellow Maryland Hiking and Adventuring members' in “waitlist” status the potential to participate!

DOGS: There is a limit of one dog for this hike. Please send or post a message if you want to bring a dog. You and the dog must keep pace. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: The dog is well behaved around our group, others and other dogs on trail. Keep the dog hydrated throughout the hike. Thanks!
