Steps & Stories
If you enjoy walking and talking, join us for Steps & Stories! Join us from 10-11 a.m., on the first Friday of every month now through October at Sherwood Park. Get in your steps while walking around Sherwood Park and share what you’ve been reading, listening to or binge watching. Please wear your mask. We will keep socially distanced, being mindful of everyone’s safety.
Western Slope Adventurers
The Western Slope Adventurers (WSA) is a bunch of motivated individuals who want to get together with other outdoor minded folks to share hiking, backpacking, canyoneering, dog walks, outdoor film festivals (indoors on winter nights), photography, road and mountain biking, rafting and other water sports; and, in season, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, winter camping (or huts), and so much more.
