From parking lot we’ll head South via Glen Abbey trail into Indian Ridge trail for about 2km. At junction with Birchtree trail we’ll turn North and via Dorval trail we’ll join Glen Oak Creek trail, then Taplow Creek trail ending back along Glen Abbey trail to our starting place.

Note: Prior to the end of the hike we’ll pass by “Monastery Bakery” where good pastries and excellent coffee are always available. Sorry, there is no ice cream, though.
