The plan is to hike on a 10K loop through oak, pine and black maple forests. There are lookout points, steep climbs and descents on this trail.
Pace: 3.5-4km/h. This is neither a slowpoke or power hike.
Route: We will be starting at the Conservation Centre at 10am ,hike along the Vista trail to the Mast trail and continue south to the Glen Rouge campground. We will stop there for a snack/lunch and then loop back to the cars.
