Hikers and Campers

Join us for an easy hike starting from Girona. This is a scenic circular hike through riverside paths, quiet countryside tracks, and forest trails to the Salt del Timbarro waterfall near Sarrià de Ter. The route passes the Ter River, woodlands, farmland, and the historic church of Sant Pau before returning along the beautiful Ribes del Ter promenade. 🗺️ **Route:** [https://ca.wikiloc.com/rutes-senderisme/girona-salt-del-timbarro-ribes-del-ter-88780091](https://ca.wikiloc.com/rutes-senderisme/girona-salt-del-timbarro-ribes-del-ter-88780091) 🗓️ **Date:** Sunday 26 April 2026 🕘 **Meeting time:** 9 AM 📌 **Meeting point:** El Rellotge de la Devesa de Girona ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/X4gztYcr97CimQJ26](https://maps.app.goo.gl/X4gztYcr97CimQJ26)) 📏 **Distance:** 14 km ⬆️ **Elevation gain:** 167 m 🔁 **Type:** Loop 🟢 **Difficulty:** Easy **Join our WhatsApp group:** [gironabuddies.com/april26](gironabuddies.com/april26) *** **Everyone welcome!** Girona Buddies Hiking is a WhatsApp community, and we organise all our hikes and other events there: **WhatsApp group for this hike:** [gironabuddies.com/april26](gironabuddies.com/april26) **Our WhatsApp community:** [gironabuddies.com/hiking](www.gironabuddies.com/hiking) **Instagram:** [instagram.com/hikegirona](www.instagram.com/hikegirona) Looking forward to hiking with you! ✨ We organise all our hikes on WhatsApp at [gironabuddies.com/hiking](www.gironabuddies.com/hiking).

Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in! We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind. If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.

If you are interested in selecting investment choices for your 401(k) or other workplace savings plan, minimizing your income tax liability, or identifying the most effective investments for your brokerage account, we are the group for you. We are a local chapter of Bogleheads, whose investment strategy can be found here: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Bogleheads%C2%AE_investment_philosophy Or you can peruse the Boglehead forum here: https://www.bogleheads.org/index.php I look forward to seeing you there.

We'll hike 3.4 miles on the Killdeer and Yellowlegs Trails - both out and back gravel trails. If we want more mileage we can repeat an out and back. Pace of around 3.5 mph, no one left behind and those who want to go faster sure can! As always optional lunch after. This is the second Metro Park in the lineup for me - with 21 to go (plus more are being added).
