    Description

    This is a linear hike involving a car shuttle. Starting at the BTC parking lot off Cty. Rd. 91, we will head east along the blue blazed trail to join the former Duntroon View Side Trail (now a white blazed trail), passing deep crevices along the way. The trail follows along the locally dubbed “Walker Walkway” adjacent to the Duntroon Quarry where operations are clearly visible. We will then enter the newly acquired Balsam Wetlands Nature Reserve where we will meander our way through mixed forest until we reach the gently rolling hills of the cross-country ski network. We follow this trail to a dense pine forest and out to farmers fields. Bring a snack and water. Please be prepared with icers’s or snowshoes. Map 22 Ed. 30

    Description

    We will park on Sideroad 7B at km 43.5 in the Beaver Valley section. The in/out hike proceeds north on the white blazed trail which winds along the top of the escarpment before descending through a crack to the bottom. We then climb to the top again before descending once more to km 39.3. We get to enjoy it all over again as we retrace our steps back to the cars. Bring a snack or lunch and water.
