Morrison Creek N&S, Thu 28 May 2026, 8:45

22 hikers turned out on a perfect Spring day, following Tom who followed the creek and also the gentle corrections of Sid and Wanda. It was a great group effort!

 

Preparing for the final ascent: up the stairs to the parking lot.

Mountain Brow - Red Hill Creek, Mon May 25 2026 @ 8:45

Ten hikers joined Nancy on this sunny summerlike day. The rainy weekend made the trail muddy in places, but the hikers managed to remain relatively clean. Thankfully, everyone had their poles!!


A great day for a hike

Are we there yet?




It was slow going down the hills.

Port Credit Rhodos & Azaleas, Thu 21 May 2026, 8:45

More of a stroll in the park than a hike, 13 members joined Liz for a cool and sunny day. Perfect conditions really -- except the azaleas and rhodos at Brueckner Gardens did not get the memo and most forgot to turn up. The usual the grand display was quite muted this year, many of the rhodos having finished and most of the azaleas just in bud. 

Definitely not short-pants weather

 
Not all rhododendrons were done.


This experimental maple/rhodo cross is doing quite well

Van Wagner's Beach Monday May 18, 2026 8:45am

Leader : John Burgers

10 hikers joined in on this the first sunny and hot day of 2026 to stroll the 4 km path along Van Wagner's Beach starting a Lakeland pool to Greys Road. Here the group is seen at the turn around point. A jolly cyclist, who has a sense for photography offered to take the photo.

A couple of hikers recalled having been to the beach on seeing the restaurants we passed.

Thankfully this hike is rated easy and the wind was slightly off the cooler lake water.
