    Details:

    This hike loops from Quarry Rd in Beamsville (limited parking, carpool if possible) along the Bruce Trail to Cave Spring Conservation area and back.

    Note: The path to Cave Spring runs along the escarpment edge and is quite rocky and has some hills. We can adjust the pace but be prepared for some rocky, uneven footing and clambering up and down. We recommend using hiking poles and wearing good hiking shoes is a must. Carry water and dress for changeable weather.

    We will stop along the way at sites of interest and loop back to the car park on Quarry Rd. The loop is around 5 km. Please arrive by 9:50 to check in with the hike leader for departure at 10.
