Westmin RoadCheck out the Paradise Meadows trails. There are different lengths of hikes suitable for all levels. We usually have the baby in a carrier and let the older ones run. There’s Whiskey Jack birds that are super friendly and sometimes wild blueberries to pick. Bring a lunch and have a picnic in one of the beautiful stops along the trails.
