Itinerary:

So this is a hike I've wanted to do for a while. Dundas Valley is one of the nicest places on the Niagara Escarpment.

This is an intermediate hike that involves some hills, uneven terrain and probably some muddy areas.

We will hike at a pace of 4.5-5.5 km per hour.

On the trail we'll be following part of the Bruce Trail, amongst several other trails throughout the valley for an 19 KM loop.

Please bring a lunch and at least 1-2 Litres of water. We will find a place to stop for lunch @ the halfway point, but there will not be any drop offs.

Total Distance 19 km
