We will hike the Slough of Despond Side Trail and return via the President's Path Side Trail.

Welcome to the Sydenham Hiking Book Club - Books and Blazes.  This month's book is: any book by Adam Shoalts.  He has written several books all with an outdoor theme. Pick your favourite then come and share it on our hike.

Bring a snack and water.  Always carry and personal medications and your health card while hiking.  It is not necessary to bring the book.

We will chat about the book while we hike and during short stops along the way.  You are welcome to join us even if you haven't read the book.

At the end of the hike, the group will choose the book for October's hike.  Bring some book ideas with you!
