Description

Get away from the commercialism of the season and enjoy the quiet of the woods with friends on the north shore of Cootes Paradise in the Royal Botanical Gardens.  We will take in the Ray Lowes Side Trail, the Hopkins' Loop, the Bull's Point Trail, the Captain Cootes Trail and more.  You might even want to bring a few sunflower seeds to feed the birds when they alight on your outstretched hand.  Please bring icers, hiking boots, and something warm to drink.  Optional refreshment stop after.  Please pre-register at stuarthikes@gmail.com so that I can get an idea of numbers and contact you if the hike has to be cancelled for any reason.  Thank you.
