Itinerary:

This is a Gorge, not a Canon! Elora Gorge is one of the most beautiful natural surroundings of Southern Ontario, Canada. The Gorge is noted for its 24 m (80 foot) limestone cliffs descending into the Grand and Irvine Rivers formed by glacial meltwater. The terrain is generally flat with modest slopes and hills and places where you can descend staircases to the gorge floor and the banks of the Grand River.

We will start at Mill St to Gorge Conservation Area, to High Bridge/Low-level Bridge, then view waterfalls at riverside, staircase down to the Gorge and Hole in the Wall. We may tour around town (galleries, gift shops, artists studios, drinks, etc) if we have time.
