The day begins with a hike up Mount Roberts.  Hikers are to meet on the Rossland library lawn at 9:00 a.m. where directions and carpooling to the trailhead will take place. Some shuttles will be provided by Adrenaline Adventures. Climb to Mt Roberts and sing Oh Canada while enjoying the raising of our flag. A community photo will be taken and hikers can then leisurely make their way down and back into town for burgers, band, cake and a special ribbon ceremony at The new Center Star trail head from Rossland’s Mayor Greg Granstrom.
