University of Guelph - Student Hike

Guelph Hiking Trail Club is excited to host our first-ever U of G Student Hike!  We are inviting all U of G students who are curious to learn about how the Arboretum's trail network connects into Guelph's city trails!  Non-students are also welcome to join us.  Our hike will be a medium pace, 3 km/hr, spanning ~6 km in length.  There will be stairs to descend during one point of our hike.  Terrain is relatively flat.  

1:05 PM Departure.

Starting Point: University of Guelph, Parking Lot P15 adjacent to Gryphon Soccer Complex, near East Ring Rd & Arboretum Rd.  We will meet up here and enter the Arboretum together as a group.  Parking here is free on weekends.

From the Arboretum, we will descend the Arboretum Side Trail onto the Cutten Fields Trail, moving west toward the Gosling Bridge.  From the Gosling Bridge, we make our way to James St, walking back up Gordon St. and through campus to complete our extended loop.  We'll take you along some paths you may not yet have discovered!

Ending Point: Gryphon Soccer Complex, University of Guelph.

End Time: 3:00 PM 

This hike will happen, rain or shine.  Dress appropriately for conditions.  Proper footwear is required to handle some of the terrain along the way.  If cancelling with less than 2 days' notice or if you have any questions, email Colin.  Colin_McCusker@yahoo.com.
