Description
Celebrate the end of summer break with a trek, a token, and a treat!
First, we’ll do an out-and-back trek (approximately 4 km total) to explore “The Dingle”, which is a narrow-wooded valley in the Caledon Hills section of the Bruce Trail.
While on our hike, I will provide assistance to hikers of all ages who are interested in earning a token: the Caledon Hills Bruce Trail Club’s Nature Hunter Badge (http://caledonbrucetrail.ca/hiking/club-badges/nature-hunt-badge/)! I will point out and identify trees and wildflowers as we hike, as well as explain plant life cycles. This badge can be earned by children and adults alike, so this hike is for everyone! Please register all people who are planning on coming along on the hike.
Afterwards, we’ll make the short 5-minute drive to Daisy Cones (19258 Airport Road) in order to treat ourselves to some delicious Kawartha Dairy ice cream before we head home.
You should bring enough water and food for a 2-hour hike, comfortable hiking shoes, sun and bug protection, appropriate clothing for the weather, a camera if you want to earn the Nature Hunter Badge, and money if you intend to join us at Daisy Cones after the hike.
