What we're about
Welcome to the Ottawa Hike to Heal meetup group! Do you want to simply get out of the house, have a stroll in the woods being immersed with the sound, sight and smell of nature for a couple of hours, and meet a few new people in the process? If the thought makes you smile, then you should join us! This group aims for spending time in the forest and letting the sun, the trees, the birds, water and soil to heal us, so the pace is generally leisurely. For some of you folks who count steps, a typical walk for us is about 5km, so that will get you more than halfway to the 10,000 step challenge!
We welcome new comers of the city, and beginner hikers who want to give this a try.
As far as locations being covered, we explore trails that are in-town and out-of-town, depending on interest and availability. We cover locations in the Ottawa region, Lanark County, Renfrew County, Rideau Valley, Outaouais, and more!
