Description

A chance to celebrate Bruce Trail Day by joining the last day of the Sydenham Club's 2026 End-to-End in 8 hikes. This hike may be an opportunity to start a self-directed End-to-End in Sydenham or to "fill in the pieces". The hike distance of just over 23 km will be challenging and you should be in good shape to participate. You will be joining a group of approximately 40 hikers who have already experienced 7 days spread over 4 week-ends.  The fee includes bus transportation from parking and the hike end location in Wiarton to the hike start where the bus will drop you off at Graham's Hill Rd. Then you hike back to your vehicle.  You will benefit from 2 checkpoints along the way with water and delicious snacks. The trail largely follows the escarpment edge and the scenery is spectacular: Big Bay Sideroad,  Ancient Beach Nature Reserve, Skinner's Bluff, Skinner's Woods, Colpoy's Bay islands, Bruce's Caves Conservation Area, Wiarton Airport.   You will hike without a leader at your own pace but we will provide a team of volunteers to assist hikers including a sweep to bring up the rear of the group. You must bring everything needed for the days hike such as at least a litre of water, lunch, your own first aid, etc.  NO REFUNDS will be issued.
