    Please note that this is a carpool hike, so it’s important to come with an empty car and be prepared for carpooling and sharing rides.

    On Badge day, there will be an option for a gathering during lunchtime. We can all come together to celebrate and enjoy a meal.

    Dress appropriately for the weather conditions. Make sure to bring snacks, lunch, and a minimum of 2 liters of water.

    Description

    Meet time is 7:45 for 8:00 start. . This is a special series of 7 hikes to complete the Niagara section of the Bruce Trail. There will be a new accomplishment badge, included in the registration fee featuring the White-tailed deer – which has been designed by Joe Borges and will be made available on our last day. The White-tailed deer is common throughout Niagara. For this E2E in 7, we will be following the main trail east to west eventually finishing in Grimsby. Some days we will hike east to west and other days, west to east depending on parking availability. Please note that you are signing up for the entire series of 7 hikes as a Group Hike. The section is approximately 85km so daily distances will be based on available parking. No dropout points have been established and therefore hikers who must drop out, will be responsible for their own transportation back to their vehicle. We will hike at a steady pace but there will be plenty of time to take pictures and to enjoy the flora and fauna of this beautiful but challenging section.

    Again, this particular set of 7 hikes is intended to be Moderate/Brisk.

    Hikers will be expected to be wearing proper hiking boots and layered clothing with the expectation of hot and humid weather. Sufficient food and 2 litres of water for a full day of hiking is required as well as hiking poles (if you use them). Check the daily forcast and prepare for wet weather, as well. Bug spray is strongly suggested. Clothing adjustments, bio-breaks are as needed. Please let the sweep person know and they will wait for you. A morning break around 10am and a 10-15 minute on-trail lunch break will be scheduled. Car Shuttles and Missing Hikes

    A maximum of 2 (of the 7) 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.
    Some parking locations require paid parking, and hikes that enter Niagara Parks. The fee for this E2E-in-7 does not include any parking/entry fees for hikers. These costs, where applicable, will be shared amongst all participants unless you have a parking or park pass.
