Upload your photos to Cataraqui Conservation’s Hike Challenge photo contest page to complete your entry and the voting will commence! For more detailed information and to access the photo contest page, check out the link below! https://cataraquicon...s/hike-challenge [ID: Top half of the post is an image of a woman with blonde hair carrying a toddler on her back with a backpack.

Beside the image, there are the words "Hike Challenge Returns!" written in a staggered formation in lime green.
