Itinerary:

We will our start the hike at Devil's Punch Bowl at km 19.4. We will descend down the escarpment and explore the trails below the falls. We will then hike up to Felker's Falls , Glendale Falls, Albion Falls, Buttermilk Falls, and any other falls we find on route - unitizing some of the side trails. Hopefully there is still some good water flow. Pack a lunch and we will find a place to eat it along the route.

The organizer will be bringing camera and a tripod along and will stop frequently to take photos. THOU SHALL WAIT AS NECESSARY FOR HER AND THE REST OF THE GROUP TO CONTINUE. If you think you'll have uncontrollable urges to sprint ahead or to continuously be on the move, this is NOT an event for you .

Average hiking pace will be 3 to 4 km/h, up and down the escarpment. The objective is to also SAFELY explore areas around the various waterfalls and to pause to take some photos. Please ensure you can hike the distance at the specified pace BEFORE you sign up.

BE PREPARED: We will hike as group. Again, if you think you may be sprinting ahead... don't sign up! Also note that the terrain could be slippery due to rain. Proper hiking shoes are a must!

We will be hiking rain or shine. Dress in layers for the weather.

The event involves a car shuttle. Those who are willing to drive will be moved preferentially off the waiting list. As this is a last minute posting, the event will be cancelled if there are not enough drivers signed up. Please plan to be out all day (arrival back estimated- 5 PM). No early departures.
