Itinerary:

We will make a large curve around the Dundas Valley, visiting Sherman, Canterbury, Webster’s, Tew’s and Borer’s Falls, and finish up on the Ray Lowes Side Trail. Along the way we will hike through the beautiful natural landscapes in the creek valley of Spensor Gorge, to the base of Webster's falls, and then climb the stairs to the top of the escarpment.

The terrain is variable, rocky with hilly sections.

We will try to keep a brisk pace of 4.5 km per hour.

This hike is suitable for intermediate and advanced hikers. It is not suitable for beginners. Hikers coming on this event are expected to have some previous D4 level experience. If you don't have a history with the TOC, please include some comments in the notes about your hiking background.

When we arrive at the meeting location, we will arrange a car shuttle to the parking area on Lions Club Rd at Old Dundas Rd (at the Sherman Falls Access Trail), and start the hike from there.
