Join local FD Community member Max (“PJ”) for a fun Minneapolis hiking adventure on the Winchell Trail! This moderate out & back trail follows the Mississippi River. It’s a great hike for all skill levels and is dog-friendly (On Leash)! The hike should take about 2-2.5 hours, giving us ample time to enjoy the scenery.
