GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

Meet at 9:45 to join us for a hike to Hilton Falls and back through the amazing Halton Agreement Forest. This is a wonderful area of hiking and biking trails. We will use both. We can thank members of Hafta for the maintenance of the trails and the building of bridges to cross streams and wetland areas. Bring a lunch or snack, water and icers. Poles would be useful to navigate rocky, uneven ground.
