Please join us on this hike to honour the memory of our good friend Phil Kidston, dedicated hike leader and trail captain, and all around strong supporter of the Caledon Hills BTC and the Bruce Trail Conservancy, who passed away at the beginning of September.From the Bruce Trail parking area on 5 Sideroad of Mono, we will take a short walk south to the open hilltop at the Philip Gosling Memorial Forest where we will have a short reflective pause by the Interpretive plaque and rest bench. From there we will head back towards the parking lot and proceed north on the main trail until the north junction of the Hockleycrest Side Trail. We’ll then use it to loop back, stopping at the gazebo for a snack, before using the Harmony Side Trail to return to the cars.
Bring water, a snack, poles etc. and dress for whatever weather November provides us with.

Hi Everyone. Let’s meet up in beautiful Niagara and experience a night hike along the Bruce Trail to The Haunted Screaming Tunnel! We will meet at Woodend Conservation Area ( 1 Taylor Rd., Niagara on the Lake ) at 5:20 pm and leave at 5:30 pm. We will hear the story of the Screaming Tunnel and if we are lucky (or not) be in the presence of the ghost! I would consider this hike as a beginner level hike 7 km round trip. That being said it is a mixture of trail and road hiking with a gentle hill. Please dress according to the weather conditions and would recommend layers, a backpack that can carry a few essentials (water, snacks, rain gear). Running shoes should be appropriate for this hike but hiking boots or shoes would be better. Please bring a whistle and a flashlight or headlamp. Hiking poles are not required but recommended. Parking is free at the conservation area and no washrooms are available at this time of the evening. We should return around 7:30 pm.
