Guided Hikes Begin in August

The 80-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 through October. The two-hour hiking tours begin at 1 pm at the Jens Jensen Visitor Center, 12171 Garrett Bay Road, Ellison Bay. No pre-registration is necessary. The terrain is a bit rugged in places, and sturdy walking shoes are highly recommended.

Hiking dates include most Saturdays and Sundays, and are scheduled as follows: August 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, & 30; September 5, 6, 13, 19, 20, 26 & 27; and October 3, 4, 11, 17, 18, 24 & 25.
