A Few Words Before You Go…
The Royal Botanical Gardens trails, including our transect routes, vary from easy going to rugged. Dress appropriately, you’ll need sturdy footwear. Don’t forget sunscreen and insect repellent.
You need to pay for parking at RBG trailhead parking lots unless you are an RBG member and you display your parking pass.
