Deer Ridge Trail:
Distance: 6.6km

with excellent views across to Moose Mountain
and down to the beaver ponds on winding Sibbald
Creek.
Trip is one tribute
to Ed Keith (passed away August 18, 2016) who
once coordinated this event at a not-so-slow
pace. Please allow time/patience for tributes
and for unforeseen circumstances
