Description

This is the 8th and final hike of the End-to-End hike series to complete the Beaver Valley section of the Bruce Trail in 8 hikes.  Hikers who compled the entire series will be eligible to obtain an end-to-end badge from the BTC Beaver Valley Club.

Since this is a group hike, please consider your fitness level before registering.  This section of the trail has numerous hills and rough terrain in spots. We will be walking at a pace of 3km – 4km per hour and hikers will need to keep up with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike.  The hike series will also involve car shuttles and every hiker is expected to participate as drivers.

Weather conditions in the late summer can still be quite warm, but the hike schedule will extend to mid-October so it’s best come prepared for varying weather conditions.   Hiking boots are required and hiking poles are strongly recommended.  Bring plenty of fluids and a snack.  Insects and ticks will still be active at this time of year, long pants and long sleeves are recommended as is insect repellent.

Specific hike details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to each hike.
