This is a 9 to 11 km walk, traversing steep terrain and rocky areas.
Walking route: routes.rungoapp.com/route/dw3SuPF7Ds
(!) New rule in effect. I will be checking registrants name and profile photo to ensure they can be traced. A proper profile includes a recognizable first name and a clearly identifiable photo (without the need of magnification).
Important to know:
1. This is an 1 hr drive from Ottawa on backroads. Plan your trip ahead accordingly. This is a good trip to arrange amongst yourselves for carpools.
2. This is a challenging hike. One has to traverse through rocks and go up on inclines. The terrain is steep and requires good cardio and steady footing. Hiking poles are highly recommended.
3. The ski lifts runs from 10 AM to 3 PM. A day pass is required to use the ski lift.
We will begin at the ski resort. hiking up the Bear Claw Trail and Lost Valley Loop to the Manitou Mountain trail, and through it to the Eagle's Nest Lookout, then hiking back to the Skywalk loop. At the Skywalk loop, we have the option to either hike downhill to the starting point via Skyloop Trail, or take the ski lift.
This is a long trip from Ottawa, so plan your drive accordingly and budget time for incidental traffic.
We will begin with an introduction and welcome exercise, and then we will relax and enjoy our time in nature. I will ask for a volunteer to be the sweeper to make sure we keep the group together. Bring water and some light snack with you, but make sure you pack light!
Notes:
1. No pets for this walk.
2. Facility is available at the ski resort, but nowhere else.
3. If photos of others are taken make sure that you acquired their permissions before posting them on this page.

8. Description
With the leaves changing colors to vibrant red, orange and gold it is the perfect excuse to spend some time outside.
Sometimes you just want to road trip to a place that’ll make you feel like the Lion King. Eagles Nest Trail takes you up and away where you can see trees for miles. It's absolutely breathtaking!
