Occasionally hikes are put on the schedule for hikes outside of the Bruce Trail. This one is near Grand Bend, Ontario and involves a 2 hour drive there and a 2 hour drive back, possible closer to 3 depending on road construction and traffic.

This hike is limited to 6 participants in one vehicle. We will travel from Niagara making a pick up at the carpool parking lot in Grimsby (sw corner of the QEW/Casablanca) in the Go Bus parking lot and another stop at the carpool lot on Wilson St West, Ancaster

Description

Earn the new E2E badge by completing the Niagara Section of the Bruce Trail in 5 hikes.    This series will run each Tuesday morning for 5 consecutive weeks.  If you are unable to attend all the hikes you can keep a log and complete the missed hikes at another time.  You will still be able to earn the badge once all the sections are complete.  Badges will be available for purchase at the end of the 5th hike. $10 for members, $15 for non members.

This is a carpool hike.  Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can arrange carpooling.  Driving is voluntary but we encourage all hikers to take their turn to help out.  Bring water and a snack.  The hikes go rain or shine. Poles, weather appropriate clothing, sturdy hiking shoes and bug spray are recommended.

We will carpool to Woodend Conservation and hike back to the cars at DeCew House.
