Bird Hills Hike and Dozer Coffee Meet Up

Welcome to our very first group hike! We’re kicking off at Bird Hills Nature Area (1850 Newport Rd, Ann Arbor) for a lovely ~2-mile loop through deep beech, maple, and oak woods. We’ll meet at the Newport Road entrance at 10:00 AM and head out right on time for an hour-long, conversational walk along the scenic upper ridge line and inner forest paths. The trail consists of unpaved earth with rolling hills and tree roots, so sturdy walking shoes and water are recommended!

After our hike around 11:00 AM, join us down the road at Dozer Coffee (2231 W Liberty St, Ann Arbor) to refuel and hang out for about 30 to 45 minutes. Dozer is a spacious, down-to-earth local spot that roasts its own coffee in-house, makes flavor syrups from scratch, and serves everything from seasonal lattes and specialty teas to hearty breakfast burritos. It's the perfect neighborhood hub for our post-trail chat—see you on the trail!
