We will maintain a steady pace briefly stopping for view of Colpoys Bay and nutrition break at The Corran – taking about 2 hour. Bring water and a snack. Winter hiking requires extra preparation! Please wear layered clothing, warm winter hiking boots, face covering (if windy), mittens and winter hat. Hiking poles and gators are recommended.
