Itinerary:

OK, Spring is here.. and it's time to start getting into shape. With the intention of easing ourselves into the shaping activity, this is an easy pace, but reasonably long hike (as all of my hikes are..), with the intent to exploring the waterfalls and the earth's awakening after the bitterly cold winter…

We will start at the Scenic Drive Side trail and hike towards Iraquoia Hights Conservation. We hope to enjoy at least 4 waterfalls hiking towards Dundas Valley Conversation. On route we will stop at Tiffany Falls and Sherman Falls. Within the Dundas Valley Conservation, we take a Heritage Trail detour to the Ancaster Mill, where may be they let us in (raggedy looking hikers) for coffee.. but if not.. we still look around the old Mill grounds and the two Mill waterfalls. We will then head back into the Conservation Area for another 3-4 km hike to our cars.

Pack a lunch which we will eat on route. The trails may be muddy and slippery. Wear proper hiking shoes/boots and make sure you bring a clean pair of shoes for the car ride back.

The organizer will be bringing camera and a tripod along and will stop 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 approx. 4 km/h. The stated distance is approximate. Please ensure you can hike the distance at the specified pace BEFORE you sign up. .

BE PREPARED: We will hike as a group. Again, if you think you may be sprinting ahead... don't sign up! The weather at this time of the year is difficult to predict. 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. The event will be cancelled if there are not enough drivers signed up. More participants will be added if there are enough drivers. Please plan to be out all day.
