Itinerary:

Are you a beginner hiker? Do you want to learn about hiking. Well, this is your chance. I will take 6 beginners with me on an easy hike around Mount Nemo.

You will learn what to bring in your daypack on the field :-)

We will be exploring the trails at Mount Nemo Conservation Area

You will learn how to read the Bruce Trail markers (and you will be tested, you will be leading the way).

This is intended to be an introductory hike. If you are an intermediate or advanced fast hiker, this is not the right event for you (sorry, but you will be removed from the list). The ideal candidate for this event will be someone without hiking experiences (or just a couple of urban hikes) that is willing to start hiking .

PLEASE NOTE:Proper hiking shoes or boots and appropriate clothing is a REQUIREMENT for this hike. Runners are NOT GOOD for hiking!!! You are not sure, well take a picture of your shoes and send it to me.

We will be giving priority to carpooling drivers.

Required Items to Bring:
layers of clothing
rain gear
hiking shoes/boots
$5.00 for park admission
