Description
A hike and a viewing of the Fantasy of Trees - what could be better to get us all into the holiday spirit?! We will meet at the Lion's Club Pool parking lot in Grimsby at 1 Elm St. Our hike will take us up to Beamer's Memorial Conservation Area where we will hike and admire all the wonderful views this area has to offer. Then we will hike over to view the waterfalls and then double back and hike back down the hill where we will change our shoes if they are muddy. If the trails aren't muddy, we will proceed to the Grimsby Museum and admire all the wonderful trees that have been decorated by volunteers and sponsored by local businesses and individuals. Want a chance to win a one-year Bruce Trail Membership (must be redeemed by end of 2025) and prize pack? There's one on the raffle table donated by Ruth, your hike leader.
This is a free event but if you'd like to buy tickets, they are available on site. This is the last day of the event which is held every year by Grimsby Rotary. All proceeds go back to charitable organizations in the community.
The hill climb is considered strenuous but the rest of the hike is moderate. Please bring enough water and snacks and icers, just in case.
