In the midst of suburbia lies a quiet, forested valley.

This is a loop hike, and we will return to the parking lot where we meet up. Portable toilets are available at the start/end (Sixteen Hollow Park) and 3 km mark (Lions Valley Park).
Please pack one litre of water, a lunch or snacks, a hat and sun screen.
