Itinerary:

We will begin at km 58.6 at the Sydenham Lookout Side Trail. And we will through Borer Falls Conservation Area and enjoy the views of Borer's Falls . We then continue through Royal Botanical Gardens grounds past Rock Chapel. On route we will look for Rock Chapel Falls (with hopefully some water flowering through it). We will find a scenic place for lunch and then continue to hiking to Great Falls at Smokey Hallow Side Trail. The approximate hiking distance will be about 13 -15 km, depending on how much wondering we do.

The organizer will be bringing camera and a tripod along and will stop to take photos. We will hike as a group, and thus, wait as necessary for everyone, 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 may be cancelled if there are not enough drivers signed up, or alternative plan is proposed. More participants will be added if there are enough drivers.
