Pace: Leisurely (2-3 km/hr)
Terrain: Level 2 (Intermediate – some hills and uneven surfaces, rocks and roots underfoot)
Distance: 6 km, with the option to drop out at 3 km

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!

So, dress for the weather, keeping in mind that insects, including ticks, will be out in full force.  Take appropriate precautions to avoid insect bites, including using repellant and clothing that covers the legs and arms.  Hiking shoes/boots are required and hiking poles are recommended.

Bring plenty of fluids, including electrolytes, and a snack/lunch.

As this is a group hike, please consider your fitness level before registering.  We will be walking at a pace of 3km – 4km per hour and everyone is expected to keep up with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike.

Plan to arrive at the meeting place by 9:15 a.m. as we will start the car shuffle to the hike starting point at 9:30 a.m. sharp.  Further details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
