    Pace: Moderate
    Terrain: Flat, Variable
    Distance: 10 km

    Description

    “I decided to check out an alternative route along the Don River to avoid cycle traffic on [weekends] and it is pretty nice. I picked up the trail at the parking lot for the Loblaws on Redway Road and worked down into the valley to where it intersected with the Flats Trail on the west side of the Don River. No pavement and few bikes. Mosquitoes and stinging nettles but that is better than dodging bikes. 10 km in just over 2 hours. Need to walk with people to slow down. This on the go application is very useful in planning or tracing routes after the fact.” https://onthegomap.com/s/1u3tdtku

    Wayne Crockett, June 12, 2020

    Please join me for this original Wayne hike. Just as Wayne did we will walk from the bus stop at Millwood and Overlea, by the Loblaws to the Crothers Wood’s Trailhead to begin the proper hike which will remain in nature until we reach Dawes Road at 8.7 km. There will be no mosquitos or Stinging Nettle but the weather forecast is calling for a return to freezing temperatures, so icers may be required. And this is a good thing since Crothers Woods is known for its mud. “Mud, did someone say mud?!” I can almost hear Wayne chiding me. “Andrew, don’t be spreading rumors of mud for one of my hikes!”

    We will be visiting the ‘Passage’ installation under the Don Mills underpass as well as the Elevated Wetlands Sculptures a.k.a. ‘The Big Teeth’ along the route.

    Public washrooms at Taylor Creek Park and Dawes Road, unfortunately are closed for the season. Washrooms at the start at Loblaws and bio breaks along the trail will be offered. Please pack a lunch, water or a warm beverage.

    And, yes Wayne, the group will slow you down. The hike will proceed at the usual moderate pace.

    Optional Pub stop at the end at The Feather’s Pub, 962 Kingston Rd at Victoria Park where we can toast Wayne for a well planned hike.

    Pace: Moderate

    Description

    This is one of the four day hikes scheduled from Feb 23 to 26. If you are interested in participating in all four hikes and staying in an Airbnb with some of us, please reach out to me.

    Meetup location: 30 meters north of the intersection of Bruce Rd 13& Northacres Rd. GPS coordinates: 44.753489, -81.167505. Rural Rocks Side Trail and Obese Side Trail are satellite loop side trails – probably the only two side trails that aren’t connected to the main trail. You will see a wonderland of enormous rocks left from a time when this area was the shoreline of an ancient glacial lake. Part of the loop is very rugged and challenging to walk through.

    No dogs. No drop out.

    It may not be clear ahead of time whether snowshoes are needed or just icers will be sufficient. Come prepared for anything. Icers/microspikes  are a must-have.

Guided snowshoe hikes (two levels) each day.

Bus will depart at 7 AM on Friday March 1 from 10 York Mills Rd. We plan to be back in Toronto between 8 and 9 PM on Monday March 4.

    Accommodation: We will be staying at the Best Western Plus Gatineau-Ottawa Downtown on the Ottawa River. It’s walking distance to downtown Ottawa (shops, restaurants, and the Rideau Canal Skateway) and a 15-minute drive from the Gatineau Park Visitor Centre in Old Chelsea. Accommodation cost is $496.26 per room or $248.13 per person based on double occupancy, in standard hotel rooms with two double beds. Single occupancy costs the same: $496.26 per room. These rates include three nights’ accommodation and three hot breakfasts. Prices include all taxes and fees. Gratuity is extra.

    Extra costs: Lunches, dinners, and trail passes are not included in the above prices. All participants will need to pack lunch for Friday. We will have a group dinner at the Best Western Plus Gatineau-Ottawa Downtown on Friday. Saturday and Sunday evenings pick from any of the many restaurants in downtown Ottawa or downtown Gatineau.

Access to all trails is free for children 12 and under. You may be asked to purchase your trail passes online or on site yourself.

    Cancellation policy: The trip will not be cancelled due to weather. We are hoping for lots of snow and winter temperatures. If there isn’t enough snow to ski and/or snowshoe, we will hike. Coach fares are non-refundable.
