    Pace: Brisk – 4 to 5 km/hour
    Terrain: Strenuous – hilly with steep climbs and some poor footing
    Distance: 18 km

    Description

    Ready for a serious workout and some scenic sweat? Join us at Hockley Valley, one of the hilliest sections of the Bruce Trail and the crown jewel of the Caledon Hills BTC. This hike will be at a brisk pace, so please honestly assess your hiking abilities, this one is a killer. Come prepared with at least two liters of water, snacks, lunch, bug spray, sunscreen, electrolytes, and hiking poles if you use them. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear, and beware of the tick population this year – they’re having a boom! I highly recommend dressing like a fashionable mummy with a light long-sleeve shirt and pants.

    This is also a loop hike – no shuttling required!

    Please note that this is a 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly hike. Everyone is welcome. And after we’ve conquered the hills, feel free to join me at the Black Birch restaurant for some well-deserved refreshments!
