    An introduction to the geology of the Niagara Escarpment in the Hamilton Region.

    Explore the ancient story etched into the Niagara Escarpment on this guided hike through the Hamilton region. Together, we’ll uncover how layers of rock were formed hundreds of millions of years ago, when this landscape lay beneath a shallow sea. As we follow the escarpment’s edge, we’ll trace its transformation over time. From the initial deposition of limestone, shale, and dolostone to the powerful forces of erosion that sculpted its dramatic cliffs, valleys, and waterfalls. Along the way, we’ll look at how the escarpment continues to evolve today, shaped by wind, water, and time.

    Please meet up at 1:30 pm (1/2 hour before Hike Start) to give us time for check-in and pre-hike info.

    Please bring:
    🥾 Dress for the weather and bring layers, sturdy footwear (hike boots or hike shoes recommended), Hiking poles (optional).
    💧 1 L water, snacks, ID/health card, small first aid kit.
