Chill & Conquer: The Final Hike of 2025

Hike & Dine Tribe… as we reached the final chapter of our 2025 hiking season, and to close out an unforgettable year on the trails, we took things west for our last Hike & Dine outdoor event of the year.

For this finale, we explored the beautiful Waterloo State Recreation Area, a scenic, peaceful, wintery gem just under an hour from Detroit that gave us wide open spaces, cold-weather beauty, and that quiet calm that hits different this time of year. It’s giving “one last breath of fresh air before the New Year” vibes.
