About Us
NEW! High Octane De-stressor Hike
May 1, 2010, 6:30pm
From Twyn Rivers parking lot we climb a steep hill and work our way through a forested area to the north end of the cedar trail, which passes by wetlands populated by ducks, geese, occasional sightings of trumpeter swans, frogs, turtles, and other interesting creatures. The scenery changes again into a meadowland where the soothing call of songbirds accompany us on the walk. A descent of wooden stairs puts us into a forested canopy leading to Meadowvale Road, the turnaround point.
Approximate length: 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours
Pace: fast moderate to brisk
Please RSVP to participate. Please send your name and contact info to events@rvcc.ca along with the date that you are interested in and we will send you a confirmation.
