Description

We will drive to and park some cars at 20 Sideroad and Prince of Wales Road (km 41.7) in the Dufferin Hi-Land section. We will then drive to km 49.7 on County Road 21 where we will begin the hike. We will follow a steep descent to the Black Bank River then climb out of the valley. After we cross Prince of Wales Road, there is an ascent to the top of the escarpment providing great views over the valley. We have a long gradual descent to the cars at the end of the hike at km 41.7. Bring a snack or lunch and water.
