A sunny day provided great conditions for 72 hikers plus on three hikes today – White Point, Clyburn Valley and Smokey Towers.  The morning began with a sunrise hike at White Point, followed by a relaxing hike along the Clyburn River to abandoned Gold Mine.

 

The last hike of the day – Smokey Towers provided great views of the North Shore (above) and Ingonish area and plenty of blueberries (below). Photo credits – Jenny Symes. The day ended with a great presentation by Nancy MacDonald & Evelyn Hiltz on “Chile – Why Not?”
