Description
Day 1/4 of BMBTC E2E. Hikers must complete the entire Blue Mountain section to earn and receive their badge upon completion. Missed segment/s must be made up prior to the completion of the last segment to receive your badge. Hikers who are completing their missed section of BMBTC are welcome to join. This segment will pass thru the Noisy River Provincial Nature Reserve and Nottawasaga Bluffs Conservation Area. Expect some challenging rolling hills, rocks and underfoot trail but you'll be rewarded with stunning beauty of the surrounding landscape. We'll be on a moderate to brisk pace. Day hike essentials to bring; lunch/snacks, sufficient liquid hydration of your choice, sun screen, bug spray, head covering for sun protection and dress appropriately for the forecasted weather. As we are in the middle of spring season some section could be muddy/slippery therefore, hiking poles, waterproof hiking shoe and gaiter are strongly recommended. Fifteen minutes early arrival is expected and please make sure your car ready for shuttling.
We'll shuttle to small parking area off 15/16 Sideroad accessible only from Con 10 South. GPS N44.342784, W80.210628
