About us
Welcome to the Grand Valley Trails Hiking Meetup group!
The Grand Valley Trails Association (GVTA) builds and maintains hiking trails in the Grand River valley. We promote year-round hiking, on the Grand Valley Trail and on other trails in the area. If you love exploring the outdoors through walking and hiking, then this is the group for you! We offer a variety of walks and hikes for outdoor enthusiasts of all experience levels. Guided hikes are organized several times a month and are posted on https://www.gvta.on.ca/HikesEvents.htm. The hikes are led by certified hike leaders with first aid training. Let’s lace up our boots, meet like-minded individuals, and hit the trails together!

RIM PARK HIKE & KITE
RIM Park, 2001 University Ave E, Waterloo, ON N2K 0E6, Canada, Waterloo, ON, CASay goodbye to fall and welcome the coming cold weather! Winter is a time for excitement and celebration! You are invited to join a short hike followed by what would normally be a summer activity, in celebration of the change of season. We'll do a short hike along the Grand River and then head over to the sports fields at RIM Park for around 45 to 60 minutes of kite flying. Kites will be available - two for low winds and one suited for higher winds which takes a couple people to launch. The kites are suitable for flying by adults but no experience is required, and it's fun! Note the pin on the map is the meeting point for the start of this event.
You must register for this event to take part. Register Here
Kite flying provides a unique blend of physical exercise, mental rejuvenation, and educational growth. Far from just a simple childhood pastime, it serves as a full-body and holistic mental wellness activity.
