Description

We will hike the main trail and return via the Frank Holley loop where we pass the ruins of the Walker Homestead.  We continue down the road allowance to access the Fossil Glen property at the south end, returning to the parking area via the main trail.  There are many fossils to be seen on the underside of the rock overhang in this area.  Map 33.  Depending upon the conditions, icers or snowshoe may be needed.  Poles are also useful.
