What was forecasted to be a foggy and raining morning turned out to be a sunny, warm gorgeous winter day! 13 hikers set out on Helen’s Trail, and very soon layers were coming off as we tackled the hills and breaking trail. Our new Trail Master Keith came prepared with the right tools and some trail clearing was accomplished - good job! We all agreed that this 5 km hike felt more like 10 kms due to the snow conditions. Our snowshoes, and even our poles felt heavy at times, so we were happy for our break at Northspan Lake, soaking up the sun and enjoying a well deserved rest. With a nice trail patted down for the return trip, we were all pleasantly surprised at how quickly we made it back to the cars…happy with the hike, but tired.
