Itinerary:

This last minute hike was inspired by an article in the May 2011 issue of Explore magazine:

"The terrain between the Louth Conservation Area and Cave Springs is awesome: all these fissured- out rock formations, sudden gulleys and panoramic views, turkey vultures perched at your side."

The distance is approximately 18km with a car shuttle between the two endpoints of the hike. Pace will be a comfortable 4.5km/hr, or whatever works best for the group. Given the distance, this hike is targeted at the intermediate level hiker. The weather forecast for this weekend is awesome, and perfect for hiking.

Hope to see you on the trail.

UPDATE: Looking for drivers.
