Itinerary:

Dec 18th will be the last Sunday before the big day...so I thought it would be fun to have a Holiday Hike in the Rouge Valley. Not planning on making people work too hard this time, just get out and have some fun. I'll be bringing along some carolling sheets, so if the group really wants to get into the festive spirit and sing some fun holiday tunes along the way, we'll be prepared! :) We'll likely hike for about 3hrs excluding any breaks. The pace of this hike will be approx 4km/hr.

The Rouge River Park is the largest urban park in Ontario, with an abundance of wildlife including deer, beaver, coyotes and many species of birds

This hike is open to dogs but I cannot guarantee them a spot in the carpool if you don't have a car yourself.

Note: Dogs must be on leash for the duration of this hike. If you plan on bringing a dog, please indicate your vehicle situation in your sign up notes.
