Description
It’s time for the fall colors—and no autumn feels complete without a hike on the Bruce Trail.
This is the first hike of a End-to-End series covering the entire Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail. The full section stretches over 120 kilometers from Grimsby to Milton. I am using Map Edition 29 to plan the hikes, and so please note that kilometer markings may not be fully up to date, and actual hiking distances may vary slightly.
Meeting Point:
KM29.5. Roadside parking on Kimerly Dr. Hamilton. GPS: 43.227607, -79.813513. Please arrive before 8:45am to allow time for car shuttle coordination.
We will car shuttle to KM46.7, the starting point of the hike at Dundas Valley Conservation Parking lot(paid parking lot) on Artaban Rd, 180 m north of Lion's Club Rd. GPS: N 43.240974, W 79.975582.
The group will then hike from KM46.7 back to KM29.5. We will add a bit fun by climbing up and down the Wentworth Steps Side Trail, a set of 498 steel steps.
All drivers are expected to participate in the car shuttle, either before or after the hike. All hikers are expected to chip in for the parking fees.
Important Notes:
- Wear sturdy hiking footwear and dress appropriately for the weather
- Bring snacks, lunch, and at least 1.5L of water
- No dropouts available.
- No pets.
