Description

This is the first of three hikes to earn the Benchlands Hike badge.  This hike will also cover the Jordon Hollow and Upper Falls side trails and is very close to the Jim Rainforth Side trail for those working on their Side trail badge.

We will meet at Jordon Hollow park NOTE: If construction on the nearby bridge on the day of the hike does not allow hikers to park, please meet on Glen Road parking lot around the corner (3640 Glen Rd, Jordan Station, ON L0R 1S0 in your GPS)-head away from the bridge towards the town of Jordan Station and head up the hill on 19th Street and right on Glen Road, there is roadside parking just after the Trail Crossing sign.

We will hike towards Ball's Falls and visit the village and upper falls.  The trail is very rocky and there is a very, very large staircase in this hike.  Good footwear is required, poles optional but suggested.

Note: If you are completing this hike for the benchlands or side trails badge(s) there are some photos required so bring a camera!
