Rustic Nature + Hiking Birthday Party

Lacing up your hiking boots, the smell of pine and fallen leaves, soft white clouds lazily lay in the blue sky—you know you are ready for a delightful day in the great outdoors.

Some elements to scavenge for from this fun birthday bash include:

• Centerpieces made from glass jars + vases filled with rocks and bundles of roasting sticks with marshmallows
• Black and white nature + hiking themed banners adorning the dessert table front
• Scattered logs, pine cones and twigs placed atop the dessert table
• Plush nature animals used for decor
• Camo print plates and cups
• A fun trail mix bar
• Camp Harbor cupcake toppers
• and an engaging scavenger hunt with scavenger hunt bags!

Rustic Nature + Hiking Party Details:

This is what Jessica said about planning the party- “Now that our son, Harbor, is old enough to have party preferences, he was really instrumental in helping me plan his 7th birthday.

We agreed on a hiking themed party since we spend so much time hiking the Rockies here in Colorado Springs and began scouting for the perfect outdoor location.
Having an outdoor party in November is tricky. Especially if you live in snowy Colorado.
The weather ended up being chilly, but totally doable.

We lucked out as it snowed just a few days after the party ended.

We settled on a local park with mountain views that backed up next to public hiking trails.
This made it easy to incorporate a scavenger hunt.

I made everything myself: the cupcake toppers, the scavenger hunt bags and labels, the water bottle labels. and the shadow silhouette posters. It was all a labor of love- and because I started over a month before the actual party, it was an easy and carefree endeavor.

We had a trail mix bar and the kids meandered in between the park and the main pavilion.

A dear friend of mine, Melissa, from Melissa Williams Photography, took the photos, and it made the day so much more enjoyable.

Colorado is a great place to get your hike on!”
