This event is led by Nacho who invited young and friendly local monks and nuns from Dharma Treasury Temple and the hike features a gentle 180ft elevation (Beginners can join!), a 3.6-mile length, and takes approximately 75 minutes to complete. Other monks and nuns may also join, making this a truly special event.
