About This Event
May 2021 we started our 50+ group with a hike up to the Overlook, and celebrated with an “Old Fashioned” Bundt cake. Why ruin a great thing?! Let’s do it again!
This is beautifully maintained trail ambles up through pine trees, with glorious views down into Millcreek, and off over the Salt Lake Valley from the top. We will take a short break at the top, then come on down, grab a picnic table and enjoy some time together.
Kari will bring two boozy cakes, you bring the drink of your choice. If you’d like to enjoy lunch as well, please bring your own.
