Description
This is an End-to-End hike series to complete the Blue Mountains section of the Bruce Trail in 5 hikes. Join for all or as many hikes as desired - you will need to register for each hike in the series which will take place on the following dates in April: 17, 18, 19, 24 and 25.
Since this is a group hike, please consider your fitness level before registering. We will be walking at a pace of 3km – 4km per hour and hikers will need to keep up with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike. The hike series will also involve car shuttles and every hiker is expected to participate as drivers.
Weather conditions in the spring can be changeable, so it’s best to dress in layers and come prepared for varying conditions throughout the day. Hiking boots are required and hiking poles are strongly recommended. Bring plenty of fluids and a snack.
This fifth and final hike of the series will be 16.3 km long. Plan to arrive at the meeting place by 8:15 a.m. as we will start the car shuffle to the hike starting point at 8:30 a.m. sharp. Further details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
