A full day hike to open the mountains to practice.
Join us for a meditation hike to Skyline Divide - our first mindful foray into the deep mountains to open the season.
This hike, inspired by traditions on Tibetan sacred mountains where the first ritual circuit of the season was performed by priests waking up the mountain deities, will be a 6 mile round trip with about a 1500’ elevation gain.
The trail can be muddy at this time of the year so you may want to bring gaiters for snow in the upper portions. Although there could be snow there will also be clear areas on the ridge.

And early start is essential to have sufficient daylight to complete this hike at a modest pace. Meet at the Dharma Hall for carpooling at 8:30am or at Nugent's Corner at 9:00am. To make a very full day consider joining the zendo practice at 6:00am.
