    Description

    This hike will recognize the contribution of the Six Nations during the Battle of Queenston Heights, Oct 13, 1812. We will stop at several points of interest for information to be shared. The hike will follow several side trails and paths through and around Queenston. A final stop at the Landscape of Nations Memorial will be included.

    The climbs up and down the escarpment can be slippery and offer poor footing, and may be strenuous, particularly if there has been rain. Hiking poles are recommended.
