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!”

We also encourage participants to consider a membership with Conservation Hamilton https://conservationhamilton.ca/hca-membership-pass/

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 20 people including the hike leader so we will need 4-5 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.

This hike is intended to be at a Brisk pace and through a very hilly section. Please be honest about your degree of physical fitness prior to registration. It is a group hike so it is important you are able to keep pace with the person in front of you.

Hikers will be expected to wear proper hiking footwear and layered clothing. Sufficient snacks/lunch, water, hiking poles, gaiters and layered clothing are recommended. Depending on terrain, icers may be required.

Don’t forget your camera for all the photo ops!

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 the “Contact Hike Leader” on this form.

The fee is non-refundable.
