TORAH TREK

Torah Trek: Va'etchanan: God's To-Do List
Sunday, August 18  at 9:30 AM
This is a hike and fun Torah study for all - Moms and Dads and Nanas and Papas and Bubbies and Babies, too!
Departing 9:30 AM from Big Wood Bread, Warm Springs
(Get there early and enjoy some breakfast!)
We will trek along the bike path to the Sun Peaks Picnic area. The walk is on paved surface and about 1 mile to 1.5 mile.
Bring water. Wear good walking shoes and clothing for the weather.
The first group of concrete picnic tables and benches is a "group site." It is near the river and in a shaded area.
Because the site is close to town, one could leave a car at the site (in the morning) with drinks and snacks, chairs (may be more comfortable for some, rather than the concrete benches that are not moveable) and blankets or towels (as padding for the benches).
From Hwy 75: Drive north from town, past Saddle Road and Adams Gulch Road. Turn left at Sun Peak Picnic Area. Drive to the end (bumpy road). Group picnic site is the last on the right at the cut-de-sac. Parking is available.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 2019 - 9:00 A.M.
HOME OF JAY AND LINDA COOPER - 126 Irene Street, Ketchum (Warm Springs)
