Annual Hike & BBQ at Top of the Valley Farm
Beaver Valley, near Kimberley, Ontario

We’re excited to invite Ski Bees members to our annual Hike & BBQ at Top of the Valley Farm. Join us for an afternoon on the trails, followed by a relaxed afternoon with good food and great company.

Arrive early at 1:30 PM if you’d like to join the hike, meet at the farm to organize car pooling,
Social and BBQ to follow, begin at 4:00 PM.
If you plan on hiking, please RSVP to the hiking event as well—so we don’t head out without you!

This year, we’ll enjoy a guided hike along the “Two Bridges” trail (about 4 km). While it’s rated easy, keep in mind it’s a single-track dirt path with stones, roots, and some hills—so you’ll likely break a sweat! The trail has a special place in our hearts, as it was a favourite daily walk with our family dog for many years.

After the hike, we’ll gather for a BBQ.

What to Bring:

Your own beverages (BYOB)
We will supply the burgers and desert, if you wish, bring a pot luck appetizer.
A chair for relaxing after the hike and BBQ
you may get a chill after hiking, bring a warm layer to enjoy the BBQ

Elevation, it is hilly!

If you plan on making a weekend of it, there are two B&B's in the area that are handy to the trails They do book up, so if you are planning on staying, be sure to reserve soon. The B&B contact information is in the auto reply when you rsvp.
