Docent-Led Hikes at The Clearing

The 84-year history, folklore and landscape of The Clearing Folk School are the subject of free, interpretive hikes to the historic campus and buildings, led by volunteer docents on select Saturdays and Sundays: Aug. 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25, 31; Sept. 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29; Oct. 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 and 27.

The two-hour hiking tours begin at 1 pm at the Jens Jensen Visitor Center, 12171 Garrett Bay Road in Ellison Bay. No advance registration is necessary. The terrain is a bit rugged in places, so sturdy walking shoes are highly recommended.
