About this walk: ~10km, ~2 hours

We will meet at the parking lot for the Mill Creek Ravine accessed via 95A Street, north of Whyte Avenue (west side of the Mill Creek Bridge).

We will head south along Mill Creek Ravine, and continue as far as we can go towards the southern end of the Ravine trails. We will then have a quick break before heading back north past the parking lot towards Conners Hill. We can take a different route back, as there are a variety of different trails through the Ravine, and will decide this at the time.

Dogs are very welcome on this event, but note that there are "on leash" and "off leash" sections of the Ravine, so please be aware of these and adhere to the City's regulations.
