Location (Google Maps): We will meet at the Trafalgar & 401 Commuter Lot (43.571569, -79.831797) and then carpool to the start of the hike.Hike Leader(s): Monica Pasquali Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)
Pace: Leisurely (2-3 km/hr), Moderate (3-4 km/hr)
Terrain: Level 2 (Intermediate – some hills and uneven surfaces, rocks and roots underfoot)
Distance (km): 10.98 kmDescription
This is the fifth hike in a series of five hikes that have been offered approximately one Sunday per month so that participants could earn the Toronto Side Trails Badge during the winter and early spring.For this fifth and final hike we will explore three side trails in the Toronto section of the Bruce Trail: the Canada Goose Side Trail, the Brown Benton Side Trail, and the Charles Hildebrandt Side Trail.
Please dress appropriately for an early spring 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, rain, and snow), wearing gloves/mittens and a toque, and wearing warm and comfortable footwear that has good traction in snow/ice/mud (please bring your icers because there may still be ice on the trail even though it’s spring). 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 10.98 km over terrain that has some hills and exposed rocks.
As we have done for the other hikes in this series, we will meet at the Trafalgar & 401 Commuter Lot (43.571569, -79.831797) and then carpool to the start of the hike. Please be prepared to participate in the 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 refreshments to celebrate our accomplishment 🙂
Looking forward to exploring some of Toronto’s side trails with you!
