Itinerary:

Combining the most beautiful and challenging elements of previous Osler Bluff Hikes: Erik brings you the Osler Bluff Scramble. Aside from the high elevation (being the highest point on the Bruce Trail) giving us beautiful views, Erik has mapped out where the limestone face of the escarpment has torn away and left fabulous caves and crevices to explore. They can at certain points be very challenging to move through and can be hazardous. The trailhead is very difficult to find so there will be no meeting at the event (everyone must meet at the carpool).

We'll do about an 8-10km hike in addition to the crevices and scrambles. The views are spectacular. The extra driving time to get to this hike is worth it.

After the hike, we will spend a few hours in the Scandinavian Baths and experience the full Finnish Sauna, Norwegian Steam Bath, Thermal & Nordic Waterfalls, Hot Baths, Cold Plunges, Solariums, Relaxation Areas and Outdoor Fireplace before heading back to Toronto.

Note: The entrance fee does not cover massage services. If you want to book a massage please contact Erik and he will work out the cost and arrange it with the spa once he's received your payment to cover it (additional $80 for 60 minute massage - thus payment required including massage is $130).
