Description
Welcome spring with a fun, scenic hike in Hockley Valley and Mono Cliffs. There will be two groups: a moderate group led by Brenda and a slightly faster group led by Martina. We will start at Hockley Rd and walk north to Dunby Rd (Map 18), stopping to eat lunch at the lookout just south of Dunby Rd. The moderate group will follow the main Bruce Trail, while the faster group will add some side trails. From Dunby Rd we will drive to 25 Sideroad, then walk south through Mono Cliffs Provincial Park to Mono Centre (Map 19). Short breaks at the lookout and McCarston's Lake will give us a chance to enjoy the awesome views. If time and energy allows, the faster group might add the Turnbull Side Trail (1.7 km).
Dropout at Dunby Rd (after about 7 km); this will be the only dropout.
Pack icers, lunch, water (1.5 to 2 litres), sun and rain protection.
