Itinerary:

This one-direction hike will take us from the Calcium Pits on Twiss Road to Hilton Falls Conservation Area, a distance of about 20km.

We'll leave Kipling, drive to Hilton Falls, and leave one vehicle, and then drive the rest of the cars to the parking spot on Twiss Rd.

The hike will take us through Crawford Lake and Rattlesnake Point CAs, down down into and back up out of the Nassagaweya Canyon, across to Kelso CA and then under the 401 to Hilton Falls CA.

We'll hike at a pace of around 4kph, give or take, so actual hiking time will be around 5 hours. With a stop for lunch, water breaks, and photo-ops, we'll be on the trail for around 6 hours.

We'll remove ourselves to a suitable watering hole after the hike, to grab a bite and rehydrate ourselves :-)

Participants MUST have at least one D4 TOC hike on their resume, or equivalent experience - please note any such experience in the notes when you sign up.
