Details: All walks are full day, off-site field trips. Daily trips depart from Sorrento Centre each morning at 9:45 am (with option for an earlier start on one of the days), and return to the Centre by 4:30 pm.  A shorter trip is planned for Wednesday to provide R&R time in the afternoon. Evenings are left open for rest and free time.

Transportation to the trailhead each day will be organized by carpool. Participants are expected to provide their own personal gear. Contact Sorrento Centre for the recommended equipment list. (Participants with children should enquire about extended afternoon childcare options by calling the Sorrento Centre office.)
