Description
This series features rivers in our Headwaters area: the Humber, Nottawasaga, Boyne, Pine, Mad, Noisy and Pretty Rivers and includes 7 hikes from three Bruce Trail Sections: Blue Mountains (3), Dufferin Hi-Land (2) and Caledon Hills (2).
First hike is in the Caledon Hills section of the Bruce Trail and we will view the Humber River. Maps 17 and 18
Today we will hike southbound from the parking lot on 5 Side Rd. to the viewpoint looking out over the Humber Valley. From there we continue southbound past the Glen Haffy Side Trail remaining on the main trail and continuing on the main trail to just before Highway 9. From there we will head back to the parking area. For anyone wishing to add distance to their hike we can add a couple of loops in the forest near the Taoist Tai Chi Centre. Optionally we can have lunch in the gazebo which is about 1 km north of the parking lot.
Please be prepared for the weather, we will hike rain or shine. Ensure you have enough water,lunch and snacks, sunscreen and bug repellent. Hats and sunglasses are recommended as are poles and sturdy shoes.
For those wishing to earn their 7 Rivers - complete all 7 hikes, badges will be available on the last day from the hike leaders at a cost of $10 for members and $15 for non members.
Anyone completing make-up hikes may log their hikes and apply directly to the Dufferin Highlands BT Club for the badge.
