Itinerary:

We will start out from Emily Murphy underneath the Groat Road bridge, and we will head west toward Kinsman park.

We will be going up and down the hills and banks between Emily Murphy and Kinsmen. There will be some icy sections and hopefully there is still plenty of snow on the bank since the sun does not reach that area.

You should use a hiker snow shoe with spikes on the bottom. We will not be using the snow shoes through deep snow, but to travel over packed snow and ice.
