Hike Details
Route: This hike loops from the parking lot at Grimsby Lions Community Pool parking lot in Grimsby along the Bruce Trail into Beamers Conservation area and back.
Terrain: The path goes along the creek and then up a steep set of stairs to get to the conservation area at the top of the escarpment. Once up top the path is fairly even, looping around the conservation area. We will then descend the steps and steep pathway back down. We will adjust the pace to the group but be prepared for some rocky or uneven footing and climbing up and down. We recommend using hiking poles. Wearing good hiking shoes is a must and if there are icy winter conditions on the trail, safety requires icers or micro-spikes. Carry water and dress in layers for changeable weather. The hike goes ahead rain, snow or shine unless there are dangerous weather conditions – the hike leader will contact you if anything changes.
Note: There are no toilets on this route.
***Please arrive by 9:50 to check in with the hike leaders for departure at 10.
