Description
We’ll hike the main trail for 10 km from Balls Falls Conservation Area to Rockway Conservation Area at a moderate pace (3.5 km/hour) while enjoying the beauty of the Niagara Escarpment (Hike4Heath-Hike4Fun). Don’t forget to bring snacks, a lunch, and sufficient water for hydration. Also bring sunscreen, sun protection, a full brimmed hat, and insect repellent in the event that we’re welcomed by friendly mosquitoes. Sturdy comfortable hiking boots/shoes and poles are highly recommended. Dress according to the expected weather conditions as per the weather forecast. There will be no dropouts. From the finish of our hike the bus will take us to Pillitteri Estates Winery where we’ll experience and enjoy a private structured wine tasting and tour hosted by one or more of the knowledgeable and friendly staff. The cost of the tasting and tour experience is $16.95 ($15.00 + HST) per person with four wines selected by the host. Please bring the fee for the tour/tasting in exact cash as it will be collected on the bus to simplify the payment to the winery estate upon our arrival. You may purchase a bottle of your favorite vino and souvenirs, if offered. If interested in attending this hike please register early (by July 7th) so the number of people expected in our group can be provided to the winery a few days in advance. Your cooperation would be appreciated.
