Description

You are registering for a 4 day series of hikes to earn the Blue Mountains Stained Glass fundraiser badge.  Please dress appropriately for fall weather, which can be cool, cold, rainy or snowy.  It's a good idea to have your icers in the car, you never know!  Our October hikes should be a showcase of fall colours.  Once the leaves are gone in November we'll have great views through the bare trees.  Hikers may miss one hike and make it up before Nov. 3 to earn the badge.  See below for the hike schedule, locations and meeting times.  The pace will be medium, a bit slower on the steep hills. All km are from Bruce Trail Guide Edition 31. Please meet 15 minutes before the start time ready to car shuttle. If you have any questions please contact me at beavervalleytrailactivities@gmail.com

COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike

  1. Each hiker joining a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must perform a self-screening check before hiking.
    Find Ontario's self-assessment tool here: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
  2. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, stay home.

Other Guidelines

  1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
  2. Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
    Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
    Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.
  3. Always carry I.D. and your health card.
  4. Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
  5. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
  6. Bring your own first aid kit.
  7. Please leave dogs at home.
