    Our hiking will resume at km 21.9 where we left off in the Nottawasaga Bluffs Conservation Area. We will pass by the ruins of a settlers’ lime kiln before entering mature cedar forests and then immature forests. Glaciers have deposited the spoon-shaped mounds of sand and gravel, called drumlins, that are on the left of the trail. Bring lunch and water. We will bid farewell to each other for the winter with a stopover in Shelburne on the way home to Toronto, and we will look to complete our end-to-end next spring.

    If you are planning to order an end-to-end badge for the Blue Mountains Section please type ‘Yes’ in the Additional information Field when you register. I will collect from you your log and the $5 to pay for the badge on the hike when we hold the last of our hikes in this series next spring. I will email notice of our final hike to hikers on these Blue Mountains bus hikes when we have set the date next spring.

    ** Hikers are required to bring a mask and wear it on the bus. Masks must fit properly and cover the nose, mouth and chin. For the highest level of protection against Covid-19, respiratory viruses or the flu, KN95 or N95 masks are recommended. **
