| Itinerary: |
This out and back hike is in the Wilderness
Section of the Ganaraska Trail. The Ganaraska
wilderness is noted for its roughness and the
poorly marked nature of the trail (it is not
unusual in the wilderness section for trail
markers to be vandalized and moved).
We will be heading to the Victoria Bridge
Access point and will aim to hike out 14k (28k
total), trail conditions permitting. Along the
way, we will traverse the forest, ravines, beaver
dams and lakes. If we're lucky, we may see signs
of bears, wolves, foxes, or actually see rare
five-lined skinks. Note that there will be some
beaver dam crossings; hikers must be prepared for
wet feet!
Due to the rugged terrain, hiking boots are
required. A change of shoes and socks is advised
for the end of the hike in case of issues at the
beaver dams.
Participants must be able to hike at a minimum
of 4.5k/hour pace to come on this hike. We will
not be waiting for those unable to keep up as it
is the responsibility of those coming to ensure
they can hike at this pace before joining
us.
Our hike will go, rain or shine.Do not sign up
unless you are
prepared to go out in the rain.
This event is only for
experience hikers. You must have completed two D5
events with the organizer.
