Each out-and-back hike will cover a distance of 8-11 km and be hiked at a leisurely to moderate pace (approximately 3 km/h). Please note that the hikes will be posted separately on the BTC calendar – you will have to register for each hike that you’re interested in joining. For this fourth hike we will explore one long side trail in the Toronto section of the Bruce Trail: the Vanderleck Side Trail. Please dress appropriately for a winter 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 snow), wearing gloves/mittens and a toque, and wearing warm and comfortable footwear that has good traction in snow/ice (icers placed over your boots work great!). Hiking poles or walking sticks are an asset since they will help keep you balanced if the ground is slippery. As well, make sure you bring enough water and food for a 4 hour hike since we’ll be covering a total distance of 10.8 km over terrain that has some hills and exposed rocks. Since parking might be limited at the places we’ll be hiking in this hike series, we will meet at the Trafalgar & 401 Commuter Lot (43.571569, -79.831797) and then carpool to the start of each hike. Please be prepared to participate in each carpool by ensuring you have space in your car if you are not already carpooling with others to the Commuter Lot meeting point. After the hike, interested participants can join me at the Tim Horton’s on Trafalgar Road just a bit south of Highway 401 for some post-hike refreshment.
