What is a Rainbow-Welcome Hike?
These hikes aim to bring 2S-LGBTQIA+ newcomers together with other newcomers and community members, friends and allies to enjoy nature and connect to the land.
It is an affirming space for people of diverse backgrounds and identities. Everyone is welcome. We will have Bruce Trail PRIDE stickers for all hikers, and a limited number of PRIDE badges if you don’t yet have one!
Hike Details
Route: This hike loops around Louth Conservation area side trails and the Bruce Trail for about 5 km, visiting both the main waterfall and the lower falls.
Terrain: The terrain has some ups and downs along the escarpment edge and into and out of the valley. At this time of year, it can be muddy, icy or both. We will adjust the pace to the group 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. If the weather conditions are snowy or icy, icers/microspikes may be needed. Carry water and dress for changeable weather.
