    Description

    This hike is a safe space for 2SLGBTQIA+ folx and allies – everyone is invited to join in on the fun!

    Celebrate Pride at the stunning Silver Creek Conservation Area!

    We will begin by hiking a 3 km loop that includes the main trail and Roberts Side Trail: we will walk north along the main trail, climbing the escarpment and enjoying excellent views along the way, and then we will turn around and walk back south going downhill via the Roberts Side Trail where we will pause on the boardwalk by a shallow pond in order to (hopefully!) spot some interesting wildlife.  For those who would like to extend their hike by an additional 3 km, they can join us as we head south along the main trail, descending and ascending some rocky hills, using bridges to cross over Owl Creek and Snow’s Creek, stopping to admire little Snow’s Creek Falls on Eighth Line, and then heading back to our parked cars by walking along quiet, rural 27 Sideroad.

    For those hikers who also enjoy playing games, I will have a rainbow-themed scavenger hunt prepared, including a small prize for participants who are able to complete the scavenger hunt!

    Everyone who participates in this hike will receive a FREE Pride Badge from the Bruce Trail Conservancy as well as a sweet rainbow treat from me!

    You should bring enough water and food for a 3-hour hike that is hiked at a leisurely average pace of about 2 km/h, comfortable hiking shoes, sun and bug protection, and appropriate clothing for the weather.

    Looking forward to hiking with you on July 1st – see you then!
