    Calling all families with children who love hiking and earning badges!!!

    All registered hikers – including participating children – will earn the Dufferin Hi-Land Yellow Lady’s Slipper stained-glass badge!!!

    You are registering for the following nine Sundays and one Saturday of this 2024-2025 hike series led by TBTC guest hike leader Monica Pasquali: November 17, December 15, January 12, March 2 (hike rescheduled from February due to snowstorm), March 23 (hike rescheduled from March 16 due to high winds and flooding risk), May 25, June 22, July 13 (hike rescheduled from April due to ice storm damage clean-up), August 24, and September 20 (hike rescheduled from July 27 due to excessive heat).

    Hikers must strive to complete all ten hikes with the leader.  Hikers are permitted to miss three of the ten hikes due to unforeseen circumstances; if this happens, they will make up the hike(s) on their own so they can still qualify for the badge.  Please keep a log of the missed hike(s) and give it to the leader on the last day of the series.

    The fee for this hike series goes towards supporting the Dufferin Hi-Land Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy in “preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever”.

    This hike is intended to be leisurely/moderate (approximately 3 km/h).  Please, register only if you are capable of sustaining this pace over varied/rocky terrain for a distance of 10-11 km.

    We will NOT be doing car shuttles so that families (with already-full cars!) can participate.  All of the hikes in this series will be out-and-back hikes.

    You should wear sturdy footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather, and ensure you bring your ID cards and enough water and food for the entire hike.

    Join me for a walk for late fall sceneries, as well as memories of two TBTC hiking friends who have left us, one in November 2022, and the other in August 2024.

    Starting from the High Park North Gate, we’ll explore some beautiful spots along the way. We’ll pass by Wayne’s bench in High Park and Wayne’s tree in Sir Casimir Gzowski Park before heading west on the Waterfront Trail. Then, we’ll follow the Humber River Trail northward and make our way to the Village of Islington, where we’ll admire over 20 large murals that recreate scenes from decades past. Our hike will conclude at Kipling Station. Most of the route will be on paved and hard surfaces.

    A few notes:

    • Dress appropriately for the weather
    • Bring water and snacks
    • Running shoes are recommended over hiking boots.
    • No pets.
