Description
Join us in celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Dufferin High-Land Bruce Trail Club. The Club plans to award a 60th Anniversary badge to any hiker who completes 60 km of Dufferin- H-Land trails- Main or Side Trails. Our Tuesday Hike group is offering a series of 10 hikes, covering most of the highlights of our section that meet this requirement. If you can't make all of the hikes, make-ups are allowed. Just hike 60k in Dufferin during 2025 and you qualify for the badge.
Today we will hike the Primrose Loop Side Trail on the west side of Prince of Wales Rd. Then, after crossing the road and returning to the cars, we will head toward the Main Trail where we will turn left towards Murphy's Pinnacle, climb to the top, and take in some stunning views before returning to the parking area. The short hike will end after completing the Primrose Loop Side Trail.
Bring snacks, water, sunscreen, and insect repellant. Hiking poles are recommended.
