    Celebrate the upcoming holidays with a march along the Bruce Trail and a visit to a local artisan market!

    First, we’ll do an out-and-back march along the main trail of the Bruce Trail as it flows out of the Toronto section and into the Caledon Hills section.  We will begin our hike at the Spirit Tree Estate Cidery parking lot and then follow the main trail on Boston Mills Road and Creditview Road in order to reach the Cheltenham Badlands.  We will continue our hike along the main trail that runs through the Badlands, as well as walk along Olde Baseline Road for a short distance in order to see the Badlands in all their glory!  We will then retrace our steps to return to Spirit Tree Estate Cidery.

    After our hike, we’ll visit the “Handcrafted with Love” artisan market at Spirit Tree Estate Cidery to do a little holiday shopping, and we’ll follow that up with a delicious pizza lunch enjoyed outdoors at the cidery.

    For the main Bruce Trail in the Toronto section: Children under 13 years of age who participate in this hike will be eligible for the Toronto Bruce Trail Club’s Youth Badge (https://torontobrucetrailclub.org/the-trail/badges) – all family members who are planning on joining us should register for the hike, including children.  

    For the main Bruce Trail in the Caledon section: While on our hike within the Cheltenham Badlands, I will provide assistance to hikers of all ages who are interested in earning the Caledon Hills Bruce Trail Club’s Nature Hunter Badge (http://caledonbrucetrail.ca/hiking/club-badges/nature-hunt-badge/).  I will point out and identify trees and wildflowers as we hike, as well as explain plant life cycles.  You should bring enough water and food for a 2-hour hike, comfortable hiking shoes, appropriate clothing for the weather, a camera if you want to work on the Caledon Hills Bruce Trail Club’s Nature Hunter Badge, and money if you intend to join us for shopping and lunch at Spirit Tree Estate Cidery (https://spirittreecider.com/) after the hike.
