Description
We will hike about 7 km on side trails in the Boyne Valley Provincial Park. Visiting Murphy's Pinnacle gives us a viewpoint over the Boyne River Valley with the towers of Toronto visible to on a clear day. The Pinnacle is a glacial age sand and gravel kame; we will learn what a kame is and how to make one! A professional geologist will explain how the rolling hills of Mulmur formed and what it means for forest growth. In May we should be able to enjoy the first wildflowers of the season and we'll share our knowledge of local flora.
