Join us for an ascent of one of the Bruce Trail’s most famous hills – Kilgorie. A precious few hikers are able to claim they made it to the top. No badge, but lifetime bragging rights await. We will take in power house ruins on the Pine River, a murder story, an old forgotten concert venue, spectacular crevices and a real Enchanted Forest. This is a shuttle hike so bring a mask, a garbage bag for your dirty boots and a change of footwear. Please also bring layered warm clothing including a woolly hat and mitts. Pack icers just in case as well as a warm drink, a lunch and a snack. Please arrive 15 minutes early and be ready to shuttle at 9. Hiking boots mandatory. Poles highly recommended. Gonna be fun. Some windy road walking.
