Itinerary:

Who wants a badge? To celebrate the Caledon BT's birthday, they are giving* special edition badges to anyone who completes the whole Caledon section of the Bruce trail (called an "end to end"). This hike is #4 in our series of 5 hikes that will take us through the entire 71 km of trail. Our hikes will take us through some of the most diverse sections of the Bruce Trail. With deep lush valleys and vast views of Toronto, you will be pleasantly surprised at what you will experience.

In February, we started a quest to hike the entire Caledon section of the Bruce Trail.

A few TOC members have already come out to the first three hikes, and plan to finish with us. However, everyone is welcome! This is a hike just like any other, so please sign up if you are interested in hiking this section of the Bruce Trail.

It may also be muddy due to the spring run-off and the hills we’ll be encountering will prove to be a workout.

Say “Good Bye” to winter.
