We will head out on the McCormack trail from the trail centre and cross over Governor's Road to continue the trail past a horse farm to a beautiful lookout point with views of the escarpment, Dundas, Hamilton and Lake Ontario. We will return along the Bruce, McCormack and Sawmill trail ending up back in the parking lot where we will pay homage to the savior of the Dundas Valley, Thomas A. Beckett Q.C. by hiking along a short 400m trail named in his honor.
