Itinerary:
Time for some more weekly hike exercise, no better place than the river valley nature trails and some of the challenging trails it provides. So come on out and get fit for the backpacking season, and year round weekly hikes.

We will meet in the parking lot of the Fox Drive Stairs by the Alfred H. Savage Centre (the site has washrooms) at 6:45 PM. Click here for the site amenities. Come well hydrated and keep your dinner light.
We could encounter muddy conditions due to recent rain, dress accordingly. We will start our hike by climbing the loop around the forest path to the top of the Fox Drive stairs. Then we will proceed on through to Snow Valley via the Whitemud Nature Reserve single track trails, and return on double wide trails back to our cars.

Novice and intermediate walkers are all welcome, but please be advised that this walk has a brisk pace.
