NOTE: trailheads are marked with painted rocks (thanks to Gabriola’s Grade 6/7 class!) and routes are marked with green flagging tape. Both will be removed in late March.
All Winter Walkabout routes are archived on our Trails and Maps page, our Blog page from the main menu, and are searchable by “winter walkabout.”
