1. How to start? Call Sandy Thal at 636-236-9221 to schedule your custom hike. I will help you decide which trail to explore based on your fitness level and goals for the outing.

2. What does it cost? $30 per hiker for up to 2 hikers; $20 per hiker for 3-5 hikers. The cost for larger groups is negotiable.

3. Are there any specials? Hike 3 times and your 4th hike is free!

4. What should I wear? Comfortable walking clothes, tennis shoes with a good tread, or depending on the trail, trail shoes or hiking boots. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are recommended. Consider bringing a camera or your cell phone for photos. I can take photos for you too and email them later.

5. What about water? Water and a snack are provided. You are welcome to bring your own water bottle carrier or camelback if you desire to carry water on the trail. For shorter hikes, 1-4 miles, many hikers prefer to hydrate at the end of the hike.

6. Can I bring my dog? Yes, however, trails that allow dogs require that they be on a leash. Some parks do not allow dogs, so please inquire when choosing your hiking destination. Also informing me of your intention to bring your pet allows me to provide a snack for them as well!
