For this E2E in 6, we will be following the main trail southbound eventually finishing in Grimsby. Please note that you are signing up for the entire series of six hikes as a Group Hike. The Iroquoia in 6 series is geared to experienced long distance hikers with the expectation of a 3.5 to 5.0 km/ hr. pace maintained over an 18 to 23 km day. No dropout points have been established and therefore hikers who must drop out, will be responsible for their own transportation. Please be honest about your hiking abilities.
Hikers will be expected to to be wearing proper hiking boots and layered clothing with the expectation of cool and possible wet weather, icy trail conditions. Sufficient food and water for a full day of hiking is required and hiking poles, crampons and wet weather gear are recommended. A 10-15 minute on-trail lunch break will be scheduled. The time will be dependent on weather conditions.
The fee goes towards supporting the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, which is: “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.”
For the time being, registration for the Iroquoia E2E-in-Six will be limited to members of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Hikers can belong to any section.
A maximum of 1 (of the 6) hikes can be self-completed as a result of scheduling challenges, but it is intended that this badge be earned while hiking as part of a group led by a certified hike leader. Car shuttles are shared amongst the hikers.
Please note there are no refunds!
This particular set of 6 hikes is intended to be BRISK. Please be honest about your degree of physical fitness prior to registration.
TRANSPORTATION
This series will be through hikes and will require car shuttling, you must be willing to drive or to be a passenger. Some parking locations require paid parking, and hikes that enter Halton Conservation Areas will require reservations. The fee for the E2E-in-Six does not cover any parking/entry fees for hikers who are not members of the Halton CA and/or Hamilton CA. If the group has enough hikers who are members of a CA, those will be the cars chosen to park in those areas so as to minimize costs but since conservation passes are not free, please consider nominal compensation to the pass holder. At least one hike starts at one CA and possibly ends at another, so parking fees are unavoidable for non-CA members.
Please remember, like all hikes, this is a Leave No Trace hike. Pack out whatever you pack in. Do not throw anything onto or into any sections of the trail.
Remember, you can only miss one hike to qualify for this special Jefferson Salamander badge. You must still complete the one day distance you have missed. If you miss more than one but still complete the distances on your own, you may apply for the regular club End to End badge.
