Description: RLT Section 6 is an out and back (4.5 km in each direction) with trail head across 6th Line, opposite the Pineridge intersection. We will follow the orange blazes through scrubby meadows and woodlands. The trail rises steeply to the “Kong Hill” lookout, providing a beautiful panoramic view. The trail descends into a coniferous plantation, following a logging trail, and then through hardwoods with significantly uneven, rocky footing. The trail emerges onto the abandoned rail bed, turns right and winds through very scenic rock walls, eventually ending at Dublin Line. This is an in/out hike, returning to the roadside parking on Pineridge Dr.
Required: Sturdy hiking shoes, water, snacks, health card/ID, dress for the weather, small personal first aid kit, bring icers in case they are needed.
No Dogs please.
Recommended: Sunscreen, hiking poles
