Itinerary:

Are you a beginner hiker? Do you want to learn about hiking? Well, this is your chance. I will take 6 beginners with me on an easy hike around Hilton Falls Conservation Area.

We will learn about:

What to bring in your daypack
How to follow trails blazers
Hiker etiquette
What to do if we lost the trail
Hiking gear: Poles, Gaiters, Hydratation packs, etc.

We will be hiking around the trails in Hilton Falls Conservation Area, including part of the Bruce Trail. Every one will have the chance to lead the group and test the new blazers reading skills.

This is intended to be an introductory hike. If you are an intermediate or advanced fast hiker, this is not the right event for you (sorry, but you will be removed from the list). The ideal candidate for this event will be someone without hiking experiences (or just a couple of urban hikes) that is willing to start hiking.

PLEASE NOTE: Proper hiking shoes or boots and appropriate clothing is a REQUIREMENT for this hike. Runners are NOT GOOD for hiking!!! You are not sure, well take a picture of your shoes (including the sole) and send it to me.

We will be giving priority to carpooling drivers.

This hike will run under any weather condition. Hikers are not made of sugar (even they could be sweet) so they will not melt with the rain :-)

Required Items to Bring:
- layers of clothing (No cotton on it)
rain gear
- hiking shoes/boots
- Cash for carpooling and conservation area (please bring change)
