Description
There is something magical hiking a trail in each of the four seasons. The scenery changes month to month, highlighting its beauty in many ways. Christie Lake is a great example of this. Join me in experiencing winter hiking at Christie Lake. Throughout the year, I will schedule the same hike for spring, summer, and fall. We will hike around the lake and enjoy Christie Lake in winter. Swimming will not be permitted on this hike. Don’t despair because we will have the opportunity to enjoy the beach area after the hike this summer. Please wear proper footwear and dress for the weather. Bring icers, and if you use hiking poles bring them. It is as important to stay hydrated during winter hiking as it is in the summer. Have water, a snack and a first aid kit. Bring along a cheerful attitude and a smile as they weigh nothing, and do not need room in your backpack. No dogs please.
We will meet in the 'bike track' parking lot at 9:15 a.m. for a 9:30 start. Free entry if you have a Hamilton Conservation pass, otherwise entry fee required. You can purchase a ticket in advance. Carpooling is encouraged. I will provide my contact information to registrants.
