MN Nature in St Paul, MN, is looking forward to the winter activities on the oh-so-dimlit horizon! There are some activities Minnesotans like so much that you might want to sign up now–think of it as a Black Friday shopping for adventures!
For example, the candlelight ski and hike events are very popular and fill up fast. Sign up now for the first one held on New Year’s Eve–yes, now!
We spent over an hour finding these events so you can click and go and we included some indoor events because outdoor options were sparse due to Thanksgiving holiday and hunting season. We hope you enjoy the diversity of options this time. Adventure on, dudes!
Events $Free unless otherwise noted.
