Description
Description
Come out and hike the Caledon Hills over the first four Saturdays of March. ( Mar-02,09,16,23) Once you complete all 4 hikes, you will qualify for 2 badges; Caledon Hills NEW E2E Badge and for the 60th Anniversary Badge. The cost of each badge is $10.00 for BTC members, $15.00 for non BT members . By completing the four hikes before Mar-21, and putting in a minimum of 7.5 hours, we also have the winter badge option.
Please dress according to the weather presented that day. Bring enough food and water (electrolytes) for a long day of hiking. This is a car shuttle hike. Please have your vehicle ready as everyone will be taking a turn either to drive us all to the start point of our hike or to get our drivers back at the end of the day.
I will send out a schedule a week prior to the first hiking day to all registered participants.
The first day will be at the Mono Community Center and we will be walking south.
You may sign up for any number of the 4 hikes but if you complete all 4 hikes you will qualify for the badges at $10 each.
Conditions may be difficult due to spring weather. Please ensure you are physically able to hike at a brisk pace (4-5km/hr) for a minimum of 5hrs.
Please arrive 15 min ahead of time.
COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike

Transportation
It is the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s current policy that car shuttles are allowed. It is at the discrepancy of individual hike leaders to make that decision.
