Description
This hike will recognize the contribution of the Six Nations during the Battle of Queenston Heights, Oct 13, 1812. We will take the main trail down the escarpment, the Upper Canada Heritage Side Trail, the Major Teyoninhokarawen ("Tey-oh-nin-hock-ah-RAW-wen") John Norton Side Trail up the escarpment, and then the main trail. A final stop at the Landscape of Nations Memorial will be included. It should take 2.5-2.75 hours depending on the conditions. The climbs up and down the escarpment can be slippery and offer poor footing, particularly if there has been rain. Hiking poles are recommended.
