This  is a new hike for us to lead so be prepared for some exploratory moments. The plan is to hike the Rivers Trail West  but with some side trails past Dale’s Antique Beach. We will follow Doug Smith recent article and direction on this hike.

• It is an expectation that all participants will stay fairly close together as this is our first time leading it.
• article on this hike – Thompson River Ramble
• this will be an easy hike along the river trail and beach.
• registrants will meet at the trailhead for a 10:00 start (arrive early)
• the trailhead/parking area is at the end of Aviation Way (link to the website location file – Rivers Trail West)
• Bring something to sit for when we stop for lunch as we will be sitting on the beach.
• remember that the leader is a volunteer and we want to make sure he/she also has a good outing too (no surprises)
• we will hike steadily to the lunch spot (about 4 km) then we will stop for a lunch break
• you may want to bring an extra jacket if it is windy or cool
• after lunch we will finish the loop and return to the vehicle.
• Our thanks to Doug Smith for the directions, maps and pictures featured on this event.
