This spring we are going to hike the Caledon Hills section of the trail in a series of shorter and slower paced hikes. My days of hiking 15 km or more a day are well behind me. I wanted to hike this section in the spring time hoping to see some interesting spring ephemerals. This series of hikes will provide an opportunity for others to work towards the Badlands Stained Glass Badge over 8 hikes.
The first hike will meet at the Hockley Road Parking Area just east of 61.1 km on the north side of the road. Then we will car shuffle north to the Mono Community Centre parking lot and start our hike going south.
