Itinerary:

We will start at Km 53.7 on Bruce Tail and follow the trail to Ball's Falls Conservation. We'll take a leisurely stroll through the area where we will explore some of the historic buildings such as the Grist Mill and the Lime Kilns. We will also hike the Cataract Trail that links Upper Falls and Lower Falls. There is an entry fee of $5.75 to this Conservation area.

The remainder of our hike will be along the main Bruce Trail, passing through Cave Springs Conservation area until we reach the edge of the Mountainview Conservation Area where we end our hike. If we pass any wineries close to our route, we will take the advantage of our proximity and make a stop to visit.

Don't sign up if you can't commit to being out for 10 - 12 hours. You will be hiking up and down the escarpment. Average hiking pace will be 4 to 4.5 km/h for about 5 to 6 hours. Please ensure you can hike the distance at the specified pace BEFORE you sign up.

BE PREPARED: We will hike as group. If you think you may be sprinting ahead... don't sign up!

We will be going rain or shine. Dress for the weather.

The event involves a car shuttle. Those who are willing to drive will be moved preferentially off the waiting list. Please plan to be out all day (arrival back 7-8 PM). No early departures.
