Ever want to take a different route than the usual to Poo Poo Point? Well, here's an opportunity to experience a slightly different set of trails. We'll be starting from the High Point Way trailhead and we'll make our way to Poo Poo Point. We'll take the Railroad Grade one way and the High School Trail the other which will give us a nice loop.
