Itinerary:

We will meet in the small parking lot of St. Rose School at 6:50 PM for check-in and leave at 6:55 PM for the hike.
We will be hiking at a brisk pace from the parking lot to the McKenzie Ravine via some scenic local Holiday Light displays. We will then follow the river South West to through Sir Wilfred Laurier Park to the Quesnel Bridge and back to the school. Some sections of the trail are steep and they can be slippery. Good footwear is essential, and ice cleats are often required if it snows and freezes.

Experienced intermediate hikers are all welcome, but please be advised that this hike has a brisk pace (>5.0 km/h) with single track narrow trails and some elevation. If you are signing up to the advanced hike, we expect you to keep up to the quick pace so you don't fall too far behind and lose the group.
