The terrain is variable, rocky in places. Distance is 34 km. We'll keep to an invigorating pace of 5km an hour.

This hike is suitable for advanced hikers. Hikers coming on this event are expected to have D5 level experience and be able to maintain a 5 km/hr pace over variable terrain.

We'll start from the Hilton Falls Conservation Area parking lot. There will be a park entrance fee of $6.50. We'll take the main trail past Speyside, pick up the Vanderleck Side trail, and return back on the Hilton Falls side trail.
For those wishing to go for dinner afterwards, I'll make reservations at North Restaurant for 6:00pm, which my Iranian friends tell me is the best Persian restaurant in Toronto. Please indicate in the notes when you sign up (or email me) whether you are interested in going for dinner.
