Description
Today is badge day! After our shuttle, we'll hike through the newer portion of the Caledon club, which now takes us off a good portion of the road. We'll hike through the Hockley Valley Provincial Nature Reserve and the Hockley Valley Resort property where there is downhill skiing in the winter. Before finishing our hike, we'll enter another former ski area. The overgrown ski runs and the remains of the snowmaking system can still be seen.
Please bring enough food and drink to last the entire hike. Check the weather and dress accordingly. Note: If you wish to purchase a badge, the cost of each badge is $10.00.
We will be car shuttling so please be prepared to be a driver in the shuttle.
