In the tapestry that is Rolling Ridge, we continue to weave new threads that connect us to the land and to each other. We invite you to come out to the mountain to hear the whispers of the trees and the waterfalls, meet companions drawn deeper into the warp and weft of our lives together, and share glimmers of hopes and dreams unfolding.
