Program description: Have you ever thought to yourself, “Sooke is so beautiful. I would love to go for a hike in the hills, but I’m just not sure where to start. Where do I go? How do I find my way? How do I meet others to go hiking with? What do I wear or bring? What if I or someone else gets hurt? What if I encounter wildlife? What if I get lost?” Nikki will draw on her education and variety of experience to answer all these questions and more.
