Charge up at the Red Rock Garage on Hwy 33 in Beaverdell. While you’re waiting take a relaxing hike on the Trans Canada Trail. Access to the trail is visible from the main street, making it easy to commune with nature. From June to October there’s also the self-guided walking tour to the rainbow trout habitat. Choose from one, two or three trails. Give yourself an hour for all three. When you’re done grab a pizza or some ice cream at Marley’s Ice Cream and Pizza Parlour.
