Itinerary:

Note: Drivers will get preference on the waiting list. I'll increase the maximum number of participants as we get more drivers. You can also meet us directly at Dundas Driving Park - I'll move you to the attendee list.

This is a relaxed photo hike (you're also welcome if you don't have a camera, but want to participate in a relatively slow hike). We'll visit the Dundas Peak, which offers a panoramic view of the area. We'll also check out the three waterfalls in and around Spencer Gorge Conservation Area: Webster's, Tews and Sydenham. Those willing to climb up the Sydenham Hill may complete an optional 1.5 km walk to the Sydenham lookout, to see how Hamilton looks in the last of the fall colours.

The town of Dundas will be celebrating "Scarecrow Saturday", which features scarecrow creations by the local merchants. After getting off the trail, we'll pay a short visit to downtown Dundas, and see if there's anything interesting to explore.
