The Monday Walking Group excursions are on flat, stable surfaces in conservation areas in Northampton and nearby communities. The walks avoid hilly terrain. Walks are generally located no more than a 30-minute car trip from Northampton. During our outings we walk approximately 1-4 miles in about 1-3 hours. Each person walks at her/his own pace and walks only as far as they wish. There is no obligation to complete the walk or walk a certain distance.

The group walks on Mondays year-round, weather permitting. When the weather is warmer, the Monday Group starts earlier in the day, at 9:30 or 10 a.m. When the weather turns cooler in the fall, we start at 1 p.m. Walks will be canceled if rain or snow is forecast, or if it is very hot and humid. We welcome new members. Participants must be fully vaccinated. Walk notices are emailed several days prior to the next walk.
