Description

We will do a short 600 m loop hike on the west rocks using the 7th St. W. and Chalmers Quarry side trails. There is no secret on this short loop. We will then each drive to the Grey Bruce Tourist Information Office parking lot at Springmount and do a 2.5 km loop of the Merle Gunby Side trail including a look at Jones Falls when we get near it. This loop has one secret. If you do not have a book and would like one ($30) let me know by using the "Contact hike leader" link.
