Photo gallery Embracing the cold, dark winter
Instead of complaining about the long, cold midwinter nights, some people have been embracing them, joining a series of socially distanced nature hikes sponsored by Outdoor UW. Hikers wore face masks and remained social distant while enjoying the nature of the Howard Temin Lakeshore Path. The next hike is Jan. 12. Outdoor UW sponsors events and offers year-round rental equipment, including paddle crafts, snowshoes, and camping and hiking gear.
