    Hiking is not a race, it’s a journey to refuel your body, mind and spirit and a chance to connect with nature and other souls. A time to cherish the views and savour the experience. Every step is another moment to breathe the fresh air and feel the earth under your feet. This is  hiking beauty, it’s simplicity. Go hike alone or let nature and me guide you.  At a moderate to brisk pace we’ll hike the Prince of Wales, Primrose Loop and Boyne Valley Side Trails and portion of the Main Trail at Boyne Valley Provincial Park. Atop Murphy’s Pinnacle you’ll enjoy and love the panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. Please bring your favorite liquid fuel, snacks/lunch and personal medications (if any) and health card.
