HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

We will use a combination Agreement Forest and Hilton Falls Conservation Area Trails to complete the loop. This forest area is beautiful, with easy to more challenging hiking and biking trails. We will see late summer flowers, possibly mushrooms and fungi and early Autumn colours. One of my favourite hike locations.
