Itinerary:

The terrain is variable with hilly and rocky sections. Length of hike is 11 km and pace will be 4-4.5 km/h.

If you are willing to be a car pool driver, please indicate how many passengers you can take.

This is a loop hike but note that some of the side trails are closed so we will be walking along the road during some of the sections. There are NO facilities along the trail. Parking is on the side of Creditview Road. After the hike we'll stop at the Spirit Tree for lunch and if you like, you can try some of their award-winning cider.

This hike is suitable for beginner hikers who can complete 11km on variable terrain and is ideal for intermediate hikers. Please do not sign up for this hike unless you plan to join us for lunch.

Members willing to drive may get priority on the hike. Although the hike indicates a maximum of 2 participants, we will add passengers once we get a sufficient number of drivers.
