Hello Fellow Hikers,Please join me for an unforgettable adventure as we explore a breathtaking stretch of the Toronto section of the Bruce Trail. This exhilarating and rewarding 22.5 km route forms a mostly open loop that highlights the beauty and character of a section that’s especially close to my heart.
Our journey begins (after the car shuttle point ) at Spyside Bruce Trail Pear Tree Park On. 15 Side Road 200 M South of Halton Rd 25 . From here, we’ll head out counterclockwise along a side trail before joining the main trail. Along the way, we’ll pass several notable landmarks within Hilton Falls Conservation Area, including the enchanting Hilton Falls, its serene reservoir, and a number of impressive glacial potholes.
Once we merge onto the main trail, we’ll enjoy approximately 9 km of steady ascent all the way to Helena Road, where our adventure concludes. This stretch of the Escarpment is both rewarding and challenging, offering sweeping vistas toward Milton, Mississauga, and Toronto—views that make every step worthwhile.Expectations: This is a medium with a difficult section (last portion ) hike but we gone tackle in various pace to allow ourself to enjoy and immerse in an endless beauty of this exploration. Expect to be on-trail 6- 7 hours. Breaks will be taken for lunch, snacks, photography, and to appreciate the scenery.
Meeting Time: Please arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time.
Participant Requirements:
- Intermediate/experienced hikers, comfortable with longer distances and some elevation gains.
- Must be physically fit for group hiking, and mentally for an endurance of 22.5 km
- Proper hiking boots, layered clothing, and wet/cold weather gear. Hiking poles and icers recommendated/ must.
- Essentials: Lunch, snacks, water (1.5 2L min) , and your enthusiasm
- Breaks for photography and appreciation wildlife (if lucky, as I was seeing a bald eagle) and bio breaks as well.
We’ll run a short car shuttle from Helena Rd. meeting point to the Bruce Trail Pear Tree Park parking area on 15 Sideroad, about 200 metres southwest of Halton Road 25 where the hike will start . This quick shuttle will make logistics easy and ensure we finish right on time.
