Canada Hill Trek 12th July

29 Jul 2008

Fourteen trailbashers trekked a portion of the nine hills of the dragon\'s back unscathed and none worse for wear. They picked up gems of geologic history as well as saw firsthand remnants of oil & gas exploration from late last century.


Looking for a capped oil well, first stop of the Canada Hill Trek.


Getting the historical anecdotes for the Grand Old Lady, the structure has been fully refurbished serving as focal point for the Petroleum Museum,.

Fruiting figs, nature\'s resilience at it\'s best. Some sections of the trail look similar to older growth forest. Photo by Peter Pillai.


The team that made out none worse for wear. Ron (the guy with the dog) actually made the entire trail in 55 mins, he happened to be doing the same trail we did. Our team made it out within 2 hours. The guy in the black t-shirt didn\'t even go in!
