Feb Hike: Sunday the 23rd

Gary has a great hike planned for us. To quote:

" I was thinking that exploring up the Terra Nova trail then going towards Mount Braden would be interesting.

Researching the trail on the web mostly deals with the trail being used for mountain biking, but I have seen lots of hikers going up it and then going towards Mount Braden.

Good description of hike:

Here are a few links regarding mountain bike for information:

Looks like the return hike could take between 4 to 5 hours.
