Description
Join us on Bruce Trail Day for a short hike in the beautiful natural environment of Niagara. The theme for Bruce Trail Day is BRUCE TRAIL FOR ALL. This hike celebrates the unifying and connecting power of nature to bring us all together.
We will take a short hike together on trails around Niagara College, and then enjoy light food and drinks as part of the Bruce Trail Day celebration.
This hike is suitable for new hikers, or anyone who wants to explore the trails at a moderate pace. The terrain is a mix of relatively flat trail around the wetlands and some rocky path with some ups and downs on the Bruce Trail.
This is one of a series of "Welcome Hikes" that invite first time/new hikers to try out the trail, enjoy an organized hike experience and learn more about the Niagara Bruce Trail club.
We especially welcome folks who are joining via the CANOO App.
Children are welcome with a guardian.
Important note: Those hiking for the first time on the Bruce Trail can earn the special "My First Hike" badge by participating in this hike. You can expect to develop a passion for badges after this!
In order to be comfortable on the hike, please:
- wear comfortable hiking shoes or boots
- comfortable clothing, be prepared for weather changes
- carry water for drinking
Advance registration is encouraged, but it is also possible to show up and register on-site. Please arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled hike time to check in with the hike leaders. We will meet by the Niagara college greenhouse.
