Join us on a Backcountry Women Warrior Women Hike on the Centennial Trail from McGillivray Falls to Hansen Creek Bridge, covering a distance of about 20km. This will be a beautiful out and back hike along rock outcrops and forest parallel to Highway 44. The trail has up and downs, rocky/rooted footing and beautiful vistas. This is an intermediate to advanced level hike due to the length, terrain and pace of the hike.

IMPORTANT: Gear:  Due to the time of year and length of hike, all participants must bring something warm for their heads (Touque/beanie), hands (gloves/mitts) and have a warm jacket/sweater to put on for breaks - such as a fleece, puffy etc.  Gear will be checked prior to starting the hike, and participants who don't bring these things will not be allowed to participate.

We will hike this trail rain or shine, unless deemed unsafe.
