Description

Since becoming a hike leader in 2015, I’ve had the joy of leading more than 200 group hikes—most memorably the End‑to‑End hikes of the Bruce Trail (900 km) for twice,  Oak Ridges Trail (270 km), Ganaraska Trail (500 km), and the Grand Valley Trail (260 km). Along the way, I’ve met hundreds of enthusiastic hikers, been inspired by countless volunteers, and made lifelong friends. This is likely my last time leading an End-to-End hike on the Bruce Trail —a symbolic “Hanging Up the Boots” moment. But I’m not done hiking! New adventures await in Western Canada. Happy hiking, happy living!
