Randonnée de méditation Drala: Baie de Nehalem et plage de l'océan

Samedi, July 13th, 2024  

11:00 SUIS – 4:00 PM

Join us for a Drala Hike where we will quiet the mind in order to open ourselves to the wisdom of nature and the Drala energies of the Pacific Northwest. We hike in noble silence while contemplatively attuning and engaging the senses in the phenomenal world around us.

Get up Saturday morning for a hike in Nehalem Bay State Park south along the bay to the jetty and back up the ocean beach.

Details:

Difficulté de la randonnée:

• Moderate owing to rocks on the bay side beach and some soft sand inland

• Distance: 5 miles round trip

• Elevation: 0 feet elevation gain

If you wish to stay over Saturday evening, you are welcome to stay overnight at a house/apartment in Manzanita which offers accommodations for up to 3 people or 2 people plus 1 couple in rooms and 3 more on the deck or in tents. If you wish to carpool or to reserve your overnight spot contact Annie & David through Liz Howell, la Coordonnateur de la randonnée du Drala.

Ce qu'il faut apporter: Bring plenty of water, a lunch, a hat, sunscreen, rain gear or a windbreaker jacket, gas money for the driver if you carpool, and a sleeping bag and breakfast if you are staying overnight. We recommend closed-toe shoes (although you may prefer to take them off for the ocean beach portion). Be prepared for any kind of weather: it can be sunny and hot or windy, wet, and cold in July.

Heure de rendez-vous: 11:00 SUIS

Lieu de réunion: La boat ramp in Nehalem Bay State Park. (https://goo.gl/maps/SqfFRPsjG2FkdKhn6). There is a vending machine for day use parking passes ($5) at the turn off for the boat ramp.
