Description
Bus departs 10 York Mills Rd at 8:00 AM and Major Mackenzie Dr and HWY 400 Park and Ride at 8:20 AM. If you wish to be picked up at the Major Mackenzie Dr and HWY 400 Park and Ride, type ‘yes’ in the additional information field. Please arrive 15 minutes before departure. The bus waits for no one.
We begin our hike at km 67.3 on the boundary between the Blue Mountains and Beaver Valley Sections. Our route south will take us from the Swiss Meadows subdivision. We will have spectacular views of Georgian Bay and Collingwood below us as we pass along and just below the brow of the Escarpment. The trail makes its way through the Blue Mountain and the Scenic Caves Ski Areas before descending to our final destination at km 55.7 just outside the Petun Conservation Area. We will have a chance to refresh ourselves in Collingwood before returning to Toronto.
