Description
On this series of three hiking days, we will complete the five loop hikes that are required to earn the Caledon Hills Sideways Badge. If you are not interested in earning the badge, please join us for some great hiking. Hikers can sign up for individual hikes as you do not need to complete all three to participate. The dates of the three hiking days will be April 13, April 27 and May 11. We will meet at the starting point at 9am each week. Our finishing time is an approximation. On each of the first two hiking days, we will be completing two of the loops. On May 11, there will be one loop hike and if there is interest, we will hike another loop in Mono Cliffs Provincial Park. Each loop is approximately 10 km in length. For more information about the hikes, please see the link below:

Our schedule will be as follows:
April 13 - Hike One and Hike Five
April 27 - Hike Two and Hike Three
May 11 - Hike Four and a hike in Mono Cliffs Provincial Park
Carpooling is encouraged. Since these are loop hikes, we will not need to shuttle. On the first day, a Provincial Park Daily Vehicle Permit Reservation will be required. We will be parking and hiking in the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park on Day 1. Passes that can be used when making the reservation can be purchased through the Ontario Provincial Park website or borrowed from your local library. If a car does not have a pass, the cost of the Daily Vehicle Permit reservation will be split between those people in that car.
More information, including specific details about the meeting points, will be provided to those who sign up for the hikes.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
