The whistle of Provincetown’s Old Colony Railroad line is long gone, but what remains is a peaceful woodland oasis away from the hustle and bustle of town. For a short time each spring the area is awash with blooming wildflowers, and there are currently many species in various stages of bloom. Our inaugural walk here is perfect for flower lovers and photographers, walkers who prefer a slower pace, and for practicing our Nordic technique. All levels welcome if the distance and stop-and-smell-the-roses pace suit you. 

Meet at 12:45 pm to sign in and stretch. We’ll begin walking promptly at 1. Hosted by Sue Moynihan with Sweep TBD. Read to the bottom for directions to our meeting point.
