Description

Welcome to Iroquoia, City of Waterfalls Challenge! This is a fundraiser challenge event. All funds raised go towards the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club to maintain the infrastructure of this beautiful section of trail and to “Preserve this ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever!”

DAY 1: FEB 14 - We will meet at Cityview Park and car shuttle to Spencer Gorge Parking Lot (Conservation Hamilton) and hike back. The cost at this parking lot is $16.50 per vehicle and driver plus $5.50 for each passenger.
Day 1 Distance 21km

DAY 2: FEB 15 - We will meet in the parking area off of Mud St and car shuttle to Artaban Rd Parking Lot (Conservation Hamilton) and hike back. The cost for this parking lot is $11.00 per vehicle.
Day 2 Distance 24 km

Please ensure your vehicle is car shuttle ready by having a minimum of 4 seatbelts available - drivers do not pay for the parking. Please volunteer for this important component of this challenge. While we encourage carpooling to the start of the hike, please let the hike leader know if you're planning to arrive with more than two people in your vehicle.  This hike will be limited to 10 people including the hike leader so we will need at least 3 vehicles and one vehicle with 4 seatbelts to drive the drivers back at the end of the day. We will try to take as few vehicles as possible. On the second day, those who did not drive on the first day will be asked to drive.

There will be short breaks along the way to admire the waterfalls on route and a short lunch.

Please bring all the hiking items  you require for a long day hike including 2l of water, snacks, lunch, first aid kit, rain gear if rain is forecast, plastic shower caps for your boots if muddy, bug spray, sunscreen, rimmed hat, poles (if you use them) and your camera for all the photo ops. Please ensure you are physically able to complete two long day hikes over two days - if you must drop out, you will have to arrange your own transportation back to your vehicle. There is public transportation, Uber, and taxi's in the area. If you are concerned about whether you will be able to manage the distance over the two day period, it's possible that you may need to wait until a 4 day version of this event is posted.

The badge will be presented to all participants who have completed the challenge at the end of the second day.

Any questions may be directed through contact on this form.

The fee is non-refundable.
