Experience the great outdoors with Trailblazers walks

Do you want to meet new people while getting fresh air and exercise in some great locations in Golden Plains and surrounding areas?

Trailblazers walks provide great opportunities to participate in fun group walks that help participants stay active. Just turn up to take part – we even have a bus to get you there!

Bring along your water, sunscreen, snacks and any important medications and wear suitable clothing for a 5-6km walk. It's that easy.
