Hike It Off

It’s a tradition to overindulge during the holidays, especially on Thanksgiving. To ward off extra pounds, there’s always that old standby, working out. The Opt Outside Turkey Burner offers an opportunity to get the heart pumping, outdoors, hiking five miles and 1,100 feet up Taylor Mountain. Walkers will be rewarded with panoramic views at the top, and may even build up an appetite for more pie. The event will be held on November 29, 9–11 a.m. Participants are asked to meet at the 2080 Kawana Terrace entrance of Taylor Mountain Regional Park, in Santa Rosa. The hike is free; parking is $7.
