Prairie Creek to Rock Point Ridge Off-Trail hike on 2-Jun-2024

This was a repeat of a trip from the previous week (even down to seeing horses in the same meadow), and was just as enjoyable as the first ascent thanks to a happy and appreciative group. This time, however, we had summer weather and more wildflowers blooming (there were probably hundreds of androsace on the rocky slopes). I suspect that this might become a Ramblers spring favourite for those of us craving a longer walk.

Participants: Susan, Gary, Susan, Janice, Nardi, Teresa, Gordon, Jenny, Cristina (photos), Ingrid (coordinator), Deborah, Laura, Judy
