Description

We continue our Iroquoia section End-2-End series which we began in the Fall of 2025. Any capable hikers are welcome regardless if completing the End-2-End for one of the badges or not.  Hikers can expect rocky portions and hills as the trail goes up and down the Niagara escarpment. The trail may be wet and muddy. We hope to maintain a steady pace of 4 km/hr. We resume whre we left off at Sydenham Lookout in Dundas. After 2,1/2 km we pass Rock Chapel Sanctuary and Borer's Falls.  We descend to Valey Road (4 km).  After an asecent we continue along the escarpment to Old Guelph Rd/Hwy 6 (6 km). We continue through the Hwy 6 tunnel through Clappison Woods. and the steep ascent through Smokey Hollow to the Great Falls Lookout Point (12 km) where there will be an optional dropout. We continue another 2 km to King Road (14 km). We will reward our efforts with a refreshment stop in Waterdown, home of the Copper Kettle's apple fritters.  The distance may be modified according to our  progress during the day.
