Description

This is an interesting hike over rugged terrain.  We will pass through the massive jumbled rock fragments along the Avalanche Pass Side Trail, enjoy the scenic lookout from the Waisberg Side Trail, then return via the Wilson Homestead Trail and past the wreckage of a Cessna 205 which crashed there in a violent storm in 1970.   There is much to see and enjoy along this route but there are several steep climbs and a good fitness level is required.  If you are unable to register, please call or text the leader at 519-590-0706.
