Hike Details
We'll hike a maximum of 10km, but probably less. Our goal won't be distance or speed, but to take our time to look at, take photos of, and to smell the flowers. Trillium, Trout Lily, Bloodroot, Wood Anenome will be in bloom.
We'll hike one, maybe one and a half of the three loops in Hockley Valley Provincial Park. Our pace will be slow to moderate. Pace will be set by the hike leader. We will not be walking quickly and probably most often slowly.
There are hills on this hike that can be very difficult to climb if you don't have the cardio stamina to climb them. We will be going slowly up these hills, but please be honest with yourself about your ability to climb hills when hiking. There are many difficult hills on this hike!
What to Bring
Bring at least 2L of water, snacks and lunch (lunch on trail), a rain jacket, sunhat, sunscreen, bug repellant, a small personal first aid kit, a camera. Hiking boots required. No dogs please. No dropout.
