Day 1 – Virtual Festival

Mushrooms - Fungi at Gatineau Park
Our Virtual Hiking festival, Sept. 11-20, 2020, has attracted hikers from Canada & US. Specifically in Canada – Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI, NS and NL and in the states from Massachusetts  & Colorado. Many hiked more than 4km the first day and some as high as 10 km plus. Some highlights & photos included Bruce Trail, Gatineau Park, Boughton River Trail in PEI, and Cape Breton Highlands National Park hiking trails – Warren Lake, Middle Head and Freshwater Lake..

Hikers were able to see presentations online and got to see a Nova Scotia, Northern Cape Breton and PEI perspective on hiking during COVID-19 and Trail Etiquette. They also took part in the daily poll hiking question.  I have learned from Hiking this year and reading articles on COVID-19, It is important to be kind to others and respect their space – 2 metres (Six Feet).
