Minnas Ridge

Saturday, 13th of September turned out to be an amazing day!

The Ramblers and several guest hikers comprised a group of thirteen for the hike along Minnas Ridge. We ventured out on this sunny day to visit Minnas Ridge, located south of Mt Cokely, Mt Arrowsmith and west of Mt. Moriarty. From the ridge it is easy to see man’s impact on the back country, including roads cutting through the mountainside

Wesley Ridge

The Wesley ridge hike last weekend was good, and the weather held off for most of the day. We only got dripped on a bit at the end, and we even got some views.  The first of our club’s  back pack hikes starts this Friday, with John leading a group into some little visited territory.  I hope the weather is nice for them.
