Description
Alan McPherson is hike leader. We will start by taking the Mad River Side Trail behind Hamilton Brothers and follow the Mad River up the valley. We pass through Devils Glen Ski Area where we join the main trail and continue up the valley. We then climb the escarpment and follow the trail along the top of the escarpment until we find Mad River Side Trail again which takes us back to Glen Huron. Part of this last bit is on the road.
Please arrive 10 minutes early for introductions so we can start at 9:00 am sharp. There are several hilly sections which can be slick when wet. Most of our walk will be in the shade of the forest, but there are some open sections. Bring water and snacks as we will take regular breaks to enjoy views or other sights. Sunscreen and bug protection are always recommended. Bring extra water if it is a hot day.
