Location (Google Maps): Meet at the parking lot at Palgrave Rotary Park, 17357 Peel Regional Road 50 (Highway 50), Palgrave. It is at the north end of Palgrave on the east side of Highway 50. This is our meeting spot. We will walk together to Palgrave Forest on the west side of Highway 50. It is best to aim for arriving around 8:15 am, so we can start hiking as close to 8:30 as possible. Thanks!

Description
Looking to get out on a Saturday but not give up your whole day? Saturday Shorts, a hiking series, will get you out in a small group on a short hike. This Saturday’s approximately 6 km hike takes us through Palgrave Forest. The route will be a "there-and-back" with a change-up on the way back. The trails are expected to be dry, muddy, or wet in parts. Bring water and a snack, if desired. Weather permitting, there will be a ten-minute break. No dogs please. Registrants can expect a reminder/update message one or two days before the hike. Please note the early start time as this is a very popular multi-use spot on the weekends. Most of the route is wide, but there might be times when we need to step out of the way for cyclists to pass.
