    Ski and snowshoe rentals available. Scenic Caves rents equipment on a first-come, first served basis. Rental equipment must be picked up and dropped off in the main chalet and paid for individually.

    We’ve reserved the log cabin for our group so there will be plenty of space to leave extra gear and warm up by the fire.

    Join me on a beautiful snowy hike through the Eldred King Woodlands and then south on the Hall Tract. This is one of the most beautiful times to visit with the picturesque snow on the trees so you don’t want to miss it!

    We will meet at the Highway 48 parking lot on the west side of Eldred King Woodlands and then hike southward to the Hall Tract and then loop back up to the parking lot.

    Most slopes are pretty gentle, there are about two downhill that will require some caution.

    While the first half of the hike is sheltered from the wind, the second half has more wind exposure.

    Mandatory equipment: given this is a winter hike, you will need to bring icers for your safety and the safety of participants. If you do not have them at the trailhead, you will not be able to participate.

    Recommended equipment: Hiking boots and waterproof pants to stay comfortable as there may be some snow to hike through.

    While it is winter, please bring 1-2 L of water so you are well hydrated. Please bring a snack as well for a morning break.

    Please leave your dogs at home.

    There are no washrooms here, so if you need one before the hike, you might try the Tim Hortons on highway 48 and Aurora before coming.
