Coffee Break: Take a Hike
by Jill Riley and Nilufer Arsala
November 17, 2025

Minnesota is known for glorious outdoor spaces and fun outdoor activities, and Monday is the perfect time to celebrate, since Nov. 17 is Take a Hike Day! The special day encourages people to get outside and hit the trails to have some fun.
Taking a hike is also a phrase meaning to leave or get out, and it's often said from one person to another… sometimes during a breakup. It seems like a perfect time to create a playlist about splitting up.
