Itinerary:

Is the word “hike” one of THOSE four-letter words? Does it intimidate you, or do you believe that hiking is only for the more mountain-goaty of us? Or do you want to relax as you wander through nature, maybe taking pictures as you go? Then this event is for you! We will be visiting the Royal Botanical Gardens in what should be peak rose bloom season! (Of course, there’s a lot more to these gardens than roses!) You can check out their website at http://www.rbg.ca. We’ll tour all the gardens and fill up our digital cameras with all the beautiful pictures they can hold! I promise that the pace will be gentle, and we will likely be driving from one park area to the other. However, you should be prepared for a few hours of walking, with a few stairs here and there. Be sure to pack a lunch, water, etc., and we’ll find a nice place to sit in the shade for a picnic! NOTE: Admission to the Royal Botanical Gardens is $8.00 per adult.

Required Items to Bring:
lunch, water, hat, sunscreen, etc. Sturdy footwear (i.e., running shoes, hiking shoes, walking shoes) are a MUST. Please note that flip-flops do not qualify as sturdy footwear! (or at least tend to annoy this event coordinator exceedingly LOL)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
