Great conditions and varied scenery rewarded the eight people who came out to the Mud Lake area of our trail on Sunday.

We enjoyed nice, comfortable hiking temperatures, dry paths, and a wide range of terrain and views. We ambled in pastures, meandered in forests, crept along crop land, and scrambled up slopes to view vistas of the valley carved out eons ago. 

This trail section features the commemorative bench honouring Stan Skirrow’s contributions on getting WTA underway. It also has the unique pet cemetery, established and lovingly maintained by the landowners.

On the return, just as the weather was getting really warm and muggy, we were fortunate to experience a welcome, cooling sprinkle to accompany our steps on the final stretch.

Thanks to Trail Maintenance who made the trail passable and to the landowners who make the hike possible. You can find more photos on Flickr.

Eight people came out to hike a combination of Waskahegan and Nature Conservancy Trail in the Ministik area. The weather was perfect for the season, and there was only minimal smoke.

Thank you to Delaney for leading the hike and to Trail Maintenance for clearing the trail. You can find more photos on Flickr.
