HikerFriday to Sunday, June 15 - 17, 2012 – 10th Annual Orchid Adventure, Tobermory
Leaders: Greg Certified Hiker Leader and Jeanette Certified Hiker Leader. You are invited to join us as we explore the Tip o' the Bruce, Tobermory, in search of orchids and other flowers. Our search will extend to Flower Pot Island (island map) with a cost of approximately $35.00 for the glass bottom boat and Parks Canada fee. The wild flowers in the Tobermory area in the spring are wonderful and our walks will focus on these flowers and the area's great views. These walks will be slower paced and shorter than regular hikes. We will have our meals and stay in a very comfortable Princess Hotel in Tobermory that overlooks Little Tub Harbour. The number of participants is limited to 25 and has been full the past few years. Beginners welcome. No dogs. Reservations required. If you would like cost information and reservations please call Tessie, the manager, at the Princess Hotel 1-877-901-8282. For any further information contact Greg.
