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.
