If you are newer to hiking and ready to try out a Backcountry Women "Adventure Women" hike, please join us for a beginner-friendly hike at Blueberry Rock, including a short section of the Trans Canada Trail! We want to leave the trail a little better than we find it, so please plan to bring a garbage bag and gloves as we will pick up any trash we find along the way.
Event Leaders: Jessica Burtnick and Reggie the siberian husky - Click for more info.
There will be a dog accompanying this hike. If you don’t have a dog or puppy friend of your own, this is a great opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of an animal companion! If you are uncomfortable around or allergic to dogs, we highly recommend you check out one of our other Happy Trails Hikes as this hike may not be the right fit for you.
