Join us for a Pride Hike!Come by car or HSR transit for this all-inclusive/LGBTQ-friendly hike from downtown Dundas to the top of Dundas Peak/Spencer Gorge with time to explore both Tew and, possibly, Webster’s Falls. FYI: Dundas Peak is an estimated 340 metres (1,100 feet) above sea level. Awesome views.
We’ll rendezvous no later than 9:20 a.m. beside the parking lot at Ed & Shawn’s Brewery (65 Hatt St., off Sydenham.) Look for me in olive-green Bruce Trail cap near the benches outside the TD Bank (far end of the parking lot). Bonus for drivers: Parking is free in Dundas on Saturdays.
Tip: If you arrive early or need to use the loo before hiking, Starbucks (45 King St. W., downtown Dundas) is a 2-minute walk around the corner from parking lot.
Coming by bus? There are two options: 05-HEAD STREET via DOWNTOWN DUNDAS and 5B -PIRIE AT GOVERNORS, depending where you are coming from. Ensure you arrive no later than 9:20 a.m.)
Bus fares: $2.50-3.50.
The hike: From the parking lot at Ed and Shawn’s Brewery, we’ll head up Sydenham Street to Cascade Park and follow the Tew Fall Lookout Trail all the way up to the top of the escarpment, with stops at the Dundas Peak and Tew Falls lookouts.
You have two options of hike lengths: For those who would like to hike an extra 3 km to Webster Falls and back (1.5 km each way), we’ll do so via Harvest Road & Short Road, and have lunch at Webster’s Falls (for a 13 km hike). Your other option is to explore longer and have your lunch at Tew Falls. The “Webster’s” group will rejoin you on their way back.
We’ll partially retrace our route back along the top of the peak with a detour via Glen Ferguson Trail before we head back down to Dundas, where we can reward ourselves with a pint or other post-hike beverage. It’ll be relatively easy to take one of two bus routes to return to downtown Hamilton.
Please bring at least 2 litres of water, energizing snacks and lunch. Don’t forget sunscreen and insect repellent. Hiking boots or sturdy footwear are recommended—as well a cap.
Complimentary Bruce Trail Rainbow badges and/or stickers to all participants! Email any questions to the Hike Leader – “Click here to contact Hike Leader” on this form.
