Calling all families with children who love hiking and earning badges!!!This is the fourth 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 fourth hike will be a spring hike to explore some side trails within Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, specifically McCarston’s Lake Side Trail, the Lookout Side Trail, the Walter Tovell Side Trail, and the Carriage Side Trail. Please dress appropriately for a 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 rain), wearing a sunhat, and wearing comfortable footwear that has good traction. Hiking poles or walking sticks are an asset since they will help keep you balanced if the ground is muddy/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 8.6 km.
Hopefully you’ll be able to join me on Sunday, April 28th! Until then, happy hiking, everyone!
