A REJUVENATING GETAWAY
The Elements Lexington hiking reTREAT includes two days of Elements curated and guided hikes; early morning yoga; trail-head shuttle service and all meals including summit-side, gourmet picnics and dinner at the Taps Restaurant. We'll provide booking information for a 2-night stay at the Georges, a boutique hotel; cost of hotel is not included in the price of the package.
Let Elements do all the planning and heavy lifting, literally — by carrying picnics, maps first aid kits etc, and figuratively by curating the routes, restaurants and reservations so you can focus on the beauty and relaxation! Our priority is your safety but rest assured, fun, adventure and food are all gunning for second place!
Once registered for your reTREAT with Elements, you will need to book your room at the George’s. You will receive detailed directions, packing instructions and information 2 weeks prior to departure. Read on for schedule and if you have questions, click to our FAQ’s.
