Itinerary:

The Elora Gorge is one of the most beautiful natural surroundings of Southern Ontario, Canada. Limestone cliffs on both side of the Gorge plummet 22 metres (70 feet) into the Grand River below. The waterfall at the Tooth Of Time can be seen from the Elora Mill Country Inn & Restaurant; it is a spectacular view of natural power. The Conservation Area also includes a cascade waterfall, "Hole in the Rock", and numerous small caves.

We will hike 10km at a comfortable pace while viewing the gorge and exploring small caves along the way!

After the hIke we will meet up at the Golden Griddle restaurant on 20 Woodlawn Rd East Guelph, (519) 836-4590 (GPS Coordinates N43.567025, W80.275539)
