Description
Two hikes for the price one One! We’ll start at the Pimple. A 1km trail straight up to a viewpoint. With our heartrates up and bodies warmed, from this out and back 1km trail, next we’ll move vehicles to the parking lot for the Garden of the Trolls. This is an easy 3km out and back. There is minimal elevation over the 3km in a nice forested area. The magic is in the fallen rocks which form a magical garden of trolls. We’ll stop for a snack at the garden. If there is an appetite, we’ll take a gander over at the viewpoint which is the top of the Dewdrop range trail.
Expect anything from ice, snow, and mud. Bring spikes, good shoes or boots, gators if you’re into them. Bring poles if you like them for steep climbs. And bring your essentials.
We’ll meet at the Aviation Way Dog Park on Tranquille at 930am to carpool and then convoy to the Pimple Trail parking area.
