**Trip Details:**

This is a short but relatively challenging hike. The pace will be moderated to suit the pace of the participants. The biggest factor will be the weather. Past years weather has ranged from absolutely horrific, to relatively idyllic. There is nothing like summiting a mountain on the first day of the year. The Hordelski is named in memory of Mike Hordelski who was a longtime club member who loved Mount Benson. Join us for a great start to 2025. Traction aids are required.

**Rendezvous Location and time:**
Bensonview Road RDN Regional Park parking lot.
