The fee goes towards supporting the Niagara Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, which is: “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.” For this E2E in 6, we will be following the main trail eastbound starting in Grimsby and finishing in Queenston Heights. Please note that you are signing up for the entire series of six hikes as a Group Hike. This series is geared to experienced hikers with the expectation of a 4.0 to 5.0 km/hr pace maintained over a 13 to 18 km hike. This hike is intended to be at a Brisk pace. Please be honest about your degree of physical fitness prior to registration. It is a group hike so it is important you are able to keep pace with the person in front of you. Hikers will be expected to wear proper hiking footwear and layered clothing. Sufficient snacks, water (preferably warm), hiking poles, and weather-appropriate gear are recommended. Icers may be necessary on certain days. A maximum of 1 of the 6 hikes can be self-completed as a result of scheduling challenges. You must still complete the distance you have missed. If you miss more than one but still complete the distances on your own, you may apply for the Niagara Club’s regular or Winter End to End badge. Please note there are no refunds!
