Day Two

Saturday, July 11

Soho Saunas @ Paul Barn
10:30 AM – 3 PM

Sauna & Cold Plunge· optional

Soho Saunas @ Paul Barn

Hosted by Scott & Natalie Paul at their Japanese-style onsen in Midway — two barrel saunas, a cold bath and a mineral hot bath, followed by lunch at the barn. Registration is on Luma so they have a headcount.

Swimsuit, towel and a change of clothes recommended.

RSVP on Luma
Battle Creek Falls Trailhead
11 AM – 2 PM

Battle Creek Falls Hike· optional

Battle Creek Falls Trailhead

A quick 30-minute stroll through the trees with a big waterfall waiting at the end — nature's reward for putting on hiking shoes. Only half a mile, so your legs won't hate you tomorrow. This is not a guided hike; head out on your own whenever it fits your Saturday. Bring water, a camera, and maybe a snack to celebrate at the falls. Totally optional, but the waterfall is pretty great at saying 'thanks for showing up.'
