The goal of this hike is not to summit West Tiger Mountain.
We’re not going to let the November blues keep us inside. Lets appreciate what the season has to offer including stunning greenery, foggy views, rushing creeks, and most of all Mushrooms! On this trip, we’ll be learning about what fungi are and how to differentiate between different types before heading out into the forest to see what we can find!
