Description
Cancelled due to lack of registrants.
Bus departs 10 York Mills Rd at 8:00 AM and Major Mackenzie Dr and HWY 400 Park and Ride at 8:20 AM. If you wish to be picked up at the Major Mackenzie Dr and HWY 400 Park and Ride, select that option when you register. Please arrive 15 minutes before departure. The bus waits for no one.
Mother nature isn’t cooperating. The coming week will be mild and rainy. Horseshoe only has a 5 to 10 cm base. We have no idea how it will hold up.
Nijole and Martina were in Awenda on Sat Feb 11 and conditions were perfect for everything. So we’re going to try Awenda Provincial Park again. Be prepared to pick your activity according to the conditions on Saturday. If snowshoeing is good – great! If winter hiking is better – enjoy! If skiing is possible – bonus! The trip will run no matter what (assuming we have enough registrants).
Driving time to Awenda is 1.75 hours. It’s so worth it to spend the day on the shore of Georgian Bay.
Winter hikers: Explore the trails on your own or join Nijole and Tanya for a guided 10 KM hike on Awenda's beautiful winter trails. The hike will traverse parts of the Bluff, Wendat, and Connector trails, and will also circle around Kettle's Lake. Mostly flat with a few short hills. Pace will be approximately 3 km/hr. Plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. Skiers: If conditions allow, enjoy self-guided tours of Awenda's beautiful ski trails with majestic views of Georgian Bay. No rentals. No food or drink.
