Description

Join us for a wintry hike in the snow at Scotsdale Farm as we venture to the Walking Fern Side Trail and back in a loop encompassing the Bennett Heritage Side Trail, the Roberts Side Trail and portions of the Main Trail.  Waterfalls, streams, cedars, lookouts, bridges and rocks.   The going will be more strenuous in the snow but highly rewarding.  Please dress for the weather in layers as suggested on the BTC website for winter hiking.  Icers mandatory.  Poles recommended.  Please bring two hot beverages, a snack, a lunch, your own first aid kit, two sets of mitts, hand warmers and a smile.  Please meet at 8:45 am and be ready to go for a 9:00 am sharp start.
