The day will be divided into two portions. We’ll begin by touring the exhibits and watching a 20-minute video at the Learning Place Visitor Centre to discover the traditions of the Ojibway (Nishnaabe) people, which will be followed by a 45-minute guided tour of the Kinoomaage Waapkong (aka The Teaching Rocks or the Peterborough Petroglyphs), the largest known concentration of Indigenous rock carvings (petroglyphs) in Canada. Afterwards, we will hike along the Nanabush Trail, stopping near Minnow Lake for a lunch break, then continue our hike along the Marsh and West Day Use Trails. Although the total hiking distance is short (approximately 8 km), the trails are in the heart of the Canadian Shield and are rugged. There are rocks and roots, and some hilly stretches. Bring hiking boots and poles if you have them. Also bring a lunch and snacks, at least 2L of drinking water, rain/sun protection, and insect repellent. If time permits, we will have a refreshment stop in the town of Lakefield. Expect a late return to Toronto (approximately 7:00 p.m., traffic conditions permitting). ** The bus fare includes the prorated bus parking permit charge at Petroglyphs Provincial Park and the anticipated fuel surcharge at the time of the trip. The published fares are subject to change in late July before the registration opens, when the actual fuel surcharge rate is advised by Coach Canada **
