Description
This hike series features 46 of the most scenic side trails within the Sydenham section. We will be hiking multiple side trails per day, varying from three to eight. We will cover a variety of terrain including forests, marshes, rocky outcrops and scenic lookouts. Hikers must be physically fit and prepared for mud, rough footing and strenuous ascents and descents. In order to achieve our daily goals, we will be hiking at a brisk pace. You need to be comfortable with a steady, brisk pace over challenging terrain, for hours at a stretch.
Hikers must have heavy duty waterproof hiking boots, wet weather gear, layered clothing, and sun /bug protection. Plenty of water is essential and a lunch will be needed each day.
Car shuttles will be used to move hikers between the side trails, and hikers must be prepared to use their vehicle to transport passengers.
This hike series is limited to 10 hikers, plus leader and sweep.
Upon finishing the series, hikers will receive a brand new Scenic Sydenham Side Trails badge and a great sense of accomplishment.
