Friends of Glacial Hills

Wear your love of Glacial Hills on your sleeve. We’re rolling out the Glacial Hills store just in time to make all of your holiday shopping easy! This time of year, we’re all looking to give something that really means a lot. After a spring, summer, and fall that may have felt disconnected from the people and places we care about so much, the holidays mean more than ever, even if they won’t look exactly like they normally do. That’s why giving with a purpose makes all the dif

Like so many events, the Short’s Brewing Glacial Hills XC Challenge was cancelled for next month. Just because we aren’t all riding together doesn’t mean we can’t ride; meet the Get To Glacial Hills Challenge! From August 1 to August 30, we’re challenging you to ride one or both of our two favorite loops!

On Thursday, January 17, Yoga Bellaire is opening up a donation-based class with 100% of donations going to support our mission of offering word-class trails to hikers, bikers, skiers, and families who call Antrim County home.

We're excited to confirm that the TC Track Club has awarded us $2,500 toward our signage project! We've been working hard over the past few months to offer our trail users an improved and more efficient way-finding system, and after some experimentation, we're confident the project will enhance the trail experience. We couldn't do it alone. With private donations and support, we were close to our budget, but Tim Reicha's grant proposal to TCTC is going to be a huge help. It's

We've worked tirelessly to improve the trail experience for all users since day one, and thanks to Short's Brewing Company, we've got an opportunity to make some much-needed changes to the trails! As Glacial Hills grew, our trails twisted, dipped, rose, and weaved together like a spider web. The network of trails offered countless ways to put together your favorite run, hike, or mountain bike ride, keeping the experience fresh and new for everyone day in and day out. But we'v

Your support for the a much-needed and eagerly anticipated ATV has been incredible! You might remember our call to action to kick off August. Our ATV Challenge looked to make the most of a $5,000 matching donation from a very generous anonymous supporter by the end of the month. Almost on cue, we saw two big storms bring down over 50 trees in the span of just ten days! Events like this are the big reason by we need the added carrying capacity and horsepower. It's equipment li

Glacial Hills has a reputation across the state for offering some of the best maintained trails in the world. Seriously! We have a team of dedicated volunteers that tackle downed trees and other issues with a surgical precision. Because of them, and because of the generous support of mountain bikers, hikers, runners, and all trail advocates, we have an incredible place to get lost in nature right in our backyard. Our trail crew has done a wonderful job of moving trees, branch
