Itinerary:

We will begin at km 49.4 within the Dundas Valley Conservation (Dundas Valley Trail Head). There is a parking fee of $9 per car that we will share among the participants. We will continue hiking to Sydenham Lookout. On route we will visit Dundas Lookout and several waterfalls. The approximate hiking distance will be about 10 -12 km. After the hike and after we collected all the cars, we can drive a short distance to Spencer Gorge (Tew’sFalls)/ Webster’s Falls Conservation Area where we can hike an additional 2-3 km to view Webster's Falls, Tew Falls and Spenser's Gorge. There will be a parking fee of $10 per car that will be shared.

Pack a lunch which we will eat on route (early afternoon). 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! 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.
