    Description

    This LGBTQ2SIA+ Rainbow Hike is for hikers of all abilities: beginner, intermediate and more advanced hikers.

    You don’t have to be a BTC member for this hike.

    You get to choose: 8 kms, 13 kms or 20 kms. Each drop-off will be close to an HRT Bus Stop for easy and straightforward bus ride back to the Dundurn neighbourhood where you will have left your car—if you’re driving. Note: This hike is completely do-able by public transit, if you decide not to drive your car.

    We’ll rendezvous at 9 a.m. sharp at Hillcrest Loop, Hamilton, near the base of Dundurn Stairs, close to Dundurn and Hillcrest, beside the bus loop.

    Parking near the starting point: Search for parking along Dundurn, Hillcrest and other side streets.

    PHASE I: Hillcrest Loop to Tiffany Falls (8 kms): We’ll follow the Chedokee Rail Trail (Bruce Trail Main Trail) then cross over the pedestrian bridge above HWY 403. Expect at least one steep, rocky climb as we make our way to Tiffany Falls.
    If want to finish at the 8 km mark: A 5-minute walk along Wilson Street will take you to the bus stop where you’ll take the (05) 5-A Greenhill /McMaster bus to the Main @ Dundurn, then a relatively short walk to your car. Bus fare: $2.80 if using your Presto Card; $3.50 if paying by cash. Have appropriate change.

    PHASE II: Tiffany Falls to Dundas Valley Trail Centre (5 kms): After checking out Tiffany Falls, we’ll pass by Sherman Falls and Canterbury Falls on our way to the Dundas Valley Trail Centre (650 Governor’s Rd.), where we’ll stop for lunch and a good break. (There are flush toilets and a water fountain.)
    If you plan to finish at this 13 km mark: Walk 10 minutes to the Gatehouse at 650 Governors Rd, turn right and head to the corner of Governors & Pirie. Take the 5B Mount Albion Loop bus. Get off at Main & Dundurn, then walk to your car.

    PHASE III: Dundas Valley Trail Centre to Downtown Dundas (approx. 7 kms): After an energizing break at the Trail Centre, we’ll follow the Bruce Trail all the way to downtown Dundas. Optional pub or ice cream stop to reward ourselves!
    Bus directions back to starting point: Two options: Catch the 05-King at Highway 8 bus at King and Ogilvie (across from our favourite pub), or walk 5 minutes to Governor and Ogilvie and catch the (05) 5 – King at Highway 8/Stoney Creek Bus. Get off at Main & Dundurn, then walk to your car.

    Everyone gets a complimentary Bruce Trail Rainbow Badge or sticker.

    We’re happy to welcome members of the Out & Out Club of Toronto on this hike. You’ll have a chance to learn about their outdoor activities—which range from cycling to skiing.

    Bring at least 1 litre of water, snacks/lunch, sunscreen, insect repellent. Hiking boots or sturdy footwear as well a cap. To avoid tickets, wear long pants.

    Email any questions to the Hike Leader – “Click here to contact Hike Leader” on this form.
