    NEW TORONTO SIDE TRAIL BADGE

    The Side Trail Badge is awarded to those hikers who complete 45 km of the blue-blazed Side Trails in the Toronto section.  If you hike a side trail in both directions those kms hiked can only be counted once.  If you hike part of a side trail, you can include those kms hiked.
    These 3 hikes are intended for anyone wishing to complete all 45km over the 3 scheduled days. These will be car shuttle hikes and for the safety of everyone, will be limited to those who are double vaccinated.
    We will meet on the first day at the Bruce Trail parking lot in Speyside and car shuttle to Hilton Falls.

    Total distance each day might be +/- 20km as some main trail may have to be hiked.

    If weather prevents us from completing these hikes in December, an alternative date will be January 3, 2022.
