We’ll be joined by Doug O’Neill, who leads Rainbow Hikes with the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club, and Lana Hubbard, a transgender hike leader with the Caledon Bruce Trail Club. After everyone checks in with me at the meeting location, we will hike the main Bruce Trail towards Limehouse Conservation Area. We will then use the Black Creek Side Trail and the main trail to create a loop to visit the oldest draw kiln in Ontario, the infamous stone arch, and the “Hole-in-the-Wall” through escarpment rock. After our exploration of Limehouse Conservation Area we will retrace our steps back along the main trail to return to our parked cars. The complete 4 km route will resemble the shape of a lollipop, hence the name of this hike.🍭 Everyone who participates in this hike will receive a FREE Bruce Trail Pride Badge as well as a sweet rainbow treat from me! You should bring 2 litres of water and enough food for a 2-hour hike, comfortable hiking shoes and socks, a hat, a breathable shirt, and lightweight long pants (to minimize the risk of a tick bite). If rain is in the forecast then a rain jacket would also be a great idea. Sunblock and bug repellent are also useful if it’s a sunny and buggy day. After the hike, anyone who is interested in joining me for some après-hike refreshments at nearby Spirit Tree Estate Cidery (https://spirittreecider.com) is more than welcome to do so. And if you don’t want to purchase your lunch at Spirit Tree then no worries — we’ll be eating at picnic tables in their outdoor Cider Gardens so you can bring your lunch and still enjoy some great post-hike vibes. Looking forward to hiking with you on July 1st! And feel free to share this page/link with your 2SLGBTQIA+ friends and family.
