She's hilly! We will hike the Lafarge Trail, starting with three drumlins in a row that will get your heart pumping and warm you up quickly! The rest isn't as tough, and there is some road walking, but you'll end it with a bang because this is an In and Out hike. Charge!

There are many trails that intersect the Bruce Trail in Scotch Block at the top of the escarpment that overlooks the Milton area. We will explore these trails. To ensure we really do not get lost, your leader will bring her handheld Garmin GPS, to lay a breadcrumb trail and to make sure the group can find their cars. It will be fun! We unlikely will get to check all of them out, meaning we can go back another time to cover more ground.
