Calling all families with children who love hiking and earning badges!!!This is the ninth in a series of ten hikes that will be offered throughout 2024 on a roughly monthly basis so that children who are 15 years of age and younger can earn the Dufferin Hi-Land Adventurer Youth Badge and their parents/guardians can earn the Dufferin Hi-Land Side Trails Badge at the same time!!! Details regarding the requirements for each badge can be found here: https://dufferinbrucetrailclub.org/dufferin-bruce-trail-club-badges/ Each of the ten hikes will be a loop hike so no car shuttles will be needed, and each hike will cover a distance of approximately 6-9 km hiked at a leisurely pace (2-3 km/h) so children and adults alike can participate.
This ninth hike will be a late summer/early autumn hike to explore the following three side trails: part of the Pine River Valley ST, the Carl Alexander ST, and the Melodonna ST. Please dress appropriately for a late summer/early autumn hike by dressing in layers (wear an inner layer that wicks sweat away from your skin, a middle layer that keeps you warm, and an outer layer that protects you from wind and rain), wearing a sunhat, and wearing comfortable footwear that has good traction. Hiking poles or walking sticks are an asset since they will help keep you balanced if the ground is muddy/slippery. As well, make sure you bring enough water and food for a 3-4 hour hike since we’ll be covering a total distance of approximately 7.7 km.
Hopefully you’ll be able to join me on Sunday, September 29th! Until then, happy hiking, everyone!

This hike was planned for fall 2023 but had to be cancelled. Alan Colley, of Wild in the City, has agreed to come out and walk the trail and share some of his indigenous teachings about the plants and land use.
We may not be “”living wild in the city but Alan has much to share. This will be a pleasant slow walk through this very diverse section of the Toronto section.
Alan led a very interesting hike back in the spring of 2023 at Silver Creek. The fall is a lovely time to hike theses trails.
Please dress for the weather. Bring lunch and water. Be sure to have your camera and or your apps on your phone, there will be lots to see. Hike will go rain or shine.
