2019 HYGGE HIKE

SNOWSHOE HIKE BENEFITS PENOKEE RANGERS, INC.

January 26, 2019

Despite the cold temps, the Hygge Hike was a success. The goal of this community snowshoe hike was to raise awareness about the great cross county ski and snowshoe trail systems that the City of Montreal has to offer. It also served as a fundraiser for the Penokee Rangers, Inc., who volunteer their time to maintain these trails.
