Description
This is a summer-time End-to-End hike to complete the Toronto section of the Bruce Trail in 4 hikes.
This 3rd hike of the series will take us from the the Walking Fern ST on 10th Line, to the end of the Toronto Section, continuing through the Badlands, to 2.8k into the Caledon section. As with previous hikes in this series, the terrain will vary, there will be some hilly sections and sections with uneven, rocky terrain, making footing tricky to navigate.
Early August weather can be hot, muggy and buggy! So, dress for the weather, keeping in mind that insects, including ticks, will be out in full force. Take appropriate precautions to avoid insect bites, including using repellant and clothing that covers the legs and arms. Hiking shoes/boots are required and hiking poles are recommended.
Bring plenty of fluids, including electrolytes, and a snack/lunch.
Since this is a group hike, please consider your fitness level before registering. We will be walking at a pace of 3.5km – 4km per hour and everyone is expected to keep up with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike.
Plan to arrive at the meeting place by 9:15 a.m. as we will start the car shuffle to the hike starting point at 9:30 a.m. sharp. Further details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
