Description
Our hike offers two distances: a short 45-minute hike (2.5km) into the forest, and a longer 1.5 hour (5km) hike, going farther along the trail which will include the always-interesting karst Bill’s Creek. Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of trail-making for our hiking pleasure? Come out to the Beaver Valley club’s post-AGM hike, and learn about trail-making partnerships, coordination and construction as you stroll the trail from the Beaver Valley ski club into the Kimberly Forest. We will be accompanied by Cathy Little, who has facilitated the sharing of trails for hiking, skiing, biking and snowshoeing. Cathy will share some interesting stories from her 10+ years of partnership-building and will encourage discussion.
