Join Wild Ones Twin Cities for a guided wildflower walk with Nathalie Shanstrom and other Bloomington WO members along a section of the Nine Mile Creek Trail.
We will be hiking down to the trail along the creek, stopping at a high meadow overlooking the river. The terrain down is fairly steep but there are steps. Hiking is easy along the paved main trail. Nine Mile Creek Trail connects to the Minnesota River unpaved trails.
