Pace: Leisurely
Terrain: Variable
Distance: 9 kmDescription
Calling all families with children who love hiking and earning badges!!!This is the third in a series of ten hikes that will be offered throughout 2024 on a roughly monthly basis so that children who are 15 years of age and younger can earn the Dufferin Hi-Land Adventurer Youth Badge and their parents/guardians can earn the Dufferin Hi-Land Side Trails Badge at the same time!!! Details regarding the requirements for each badge can be found here: https://dufferinbrucetrailclub.org/dufferin-bruce-trail-club-badges/ Each of the ten hikes will be a loop hike so no car shuttles will be needed, and each hike will cover a distance of approximately 6-9 km hiked at a leisurely pace (2-3 km/h) so children and adults alike can participate.
This third hike will be a late winter/early spring hike to explore some side trails within and south of Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, specifically the Carriage Side Trail, the South Outlier Connector, the South Outlier Loop Trail, and the Whitetail Refuge Side Trail (this last side trail is part of the Caledon Hills section of the Bruce Trail). Please dress appropriately for a late winter/early spring hike by dressing in layers (wear an inner layer that wicks sweat away from your skin, a middle layer that keeps you warm, and an outer layer that protects you from wind and snow), wearing gloves/mittens and a toque, and wearing warm and comfortable footwear that has good traction in snow/ice (icers placed over your boots work great!). Hiking poles or walking sticks are an asset since they will help keep you balanced if the ground is slippery. As well, make sure you bring enough water and food for a 3-4 hour hike since we’ll be covering a total distance of approximately 9 km.
*Please note that this hike will begin at a later time than the other hikes in this series because it involves a paid parking lot at Mono Cliffs Provincial Park with set time slots. I will email people registered for this hike five days before the day of the hike so they can reserve their parking space at Mono Cliffs Provincial Park beforehand. The cost to park for a 4-hour time slot at Mono Cliffs Provincial Park is $8.50.
Hopefully you’ll be able to join me on Sunday, March 24th! Until then, happy hiking, everyone!
