Event Details
HTXO New Years Day Night Hike
Tuesday, January 1, 2019 at 6:15 PM – 8 PM
Meet at Memorial Park Rugby Field
N Picnic Ln, Houston, Texas, 77007
Celebrate the new year, sleep in, have brunch... then join us for a night hike! A perfect way to start your new year on the right foot!
We'll hike on actual trails inside the loop of Houston!
What to bring:
** Headlamp or light source (the trees get thick so you'll need it)
** Water! Stay hydrated. It is also good practice to hydrate before your activity
** Bug Spray
** Wear long pants
** Wear sturdy shoes that are okay to get muddy
** After the hike, we’ll pick a place and grab something to eat!
Arrive Early!
We start hiking at 6:30 sharp from the Rugby Fields. With this many people, the hike will be slower than normal. We will go as far as we can. Expect to walk between 2-4 miles (we'll go the pace of the group).
Also, with such a large group, we cannot wait for you if you're running late. Plan to
arrive early so you can find a parking spot & get checked in by 6:20
Dinner After the Hike
We'll head to Canyon Creek for dinner after the hike. The patio is dog friendly.
Friendly Dogs Allowed
If your dog is friendly, can handle being around large groups of people/other dogs and can handle hiking at night, feel free to bring your dog. Be sure to bring water for your dog.
Teenage kids and up; no strollers
We are on actual trails, even when people bring the Jeep Strollers, they end up having to carry the stroller in places they they turn around. Not appropriate for small children as the pace tends to be too face for them to keep up.
What happens if it is raining
We do not cancel before the of the event, and even then, we only cancel if it's dangerous. If it is raining a little, we will still go but we will alter the route. Hiking on wet trails cause erosion and is expensive to fix. Trails are closed after heavy rains.
We will follow the rules for open / closed trails and adjust the route accordingly.
Leave No Trace
Put any empty bottles or trash in the garbage cans. Do not throw garbage on the ground. Noone is there to clean up after you.
