The unique and popular Trails and Vistas Art Hikes return to the region September 12th and 19th. This year the hikes are presented for the first time on two different weekends in two locations. The Art Hikes are three mile walks with a small group of people passing ten stations where you will find art, dance, music and storytelling. What could be a finer backdrop for art and music then the natural surroundings of the Sierra?
The Hike Details:
September 12th, Spooner Lake State Park, at the intersection of Highway 28 and Highway 50. On this hike, enjoy the soft beauty of groves of aspens and Spooner Lake.
September 19th, Donner Ski Ranch, Donner Summit.
On this hike, experience the raw beauty of the rocky crest of the Sierra and views of Donner Lake.
Tickets are $45. Guided hikes leave on a regular basis and must be registered for in advance. In addition to the standard hikes, you can attend a family hike, for those with young children, a meditative hike (periods of silence to enjoy the experience) and leisurely hike for those who wish to walk slowly. For tickets go to trailsandvistas.org
In addition to the Art Hikes, Trails and Vista is presenting a a World Concert at Sand Harbor on September 12, including 2014 Grammy Winning Pacific Mambo Orchestra, which combines big band horns, percussion, piano, and vocals. Other artists include celtic violinist Scarlet Rivera, Peter Joseph Burtt who presents soulful blues, a Taiko drum performance, jazz harpist Motoshi Kosako, and Ian Ethan on a double necked guitar.
