Location (Google Maps): Meet at 8 am at the parking area (10 cars) on 3rd Line, north of Hockley Road. (Note: We are not meeting at the main parking area on Hockley Road. Go north on 3rd Line. The parking area is on the east side of the road.) It is best to aim for arriving around 7:45, so we can start hiking as close to 8 am as possible. Thanks!

Description
Looking to get out on a Saturday but not give up your whole day? Saturday Shorts, a hiking series, will get you out in a small group on a short hike. This Saturday’s hike is a hilly challenge as we use side trails and the main trail to make a 4 km loop in the Hockley Valley Nature Reserve. Planning for a possibly hot or humid day, we'll be hiking at a leisurely pace - around 3 km per hour - and taking short breaks. If you're out for a fast-paced fitness hike, this plan for a hot day might not be the best one for you. Your preparations should include or at least consider: sunscreen, a hat, insect repellent, water, a snack, poles. No dogs please.
Registrants can expect a reminder/update message one or two days before the hike.
