Description

Please join me for a challenging hike on the Bruce Trail (main and side trails) in the Beaver Valley. We will be following the Beaver Valley Short  loop of ca 19.2 km from the Hogg's Falls Parking lot (170491-172753, Lower Valley Rd, Flesherton, ON N0C 1E0). From there, we will start hiking the main Bruce Trail toward Eugenia Falls and continue with the loop counter-clockwise. We will make short water and pit breaks and one long (at least 45 min) lunch break to eat, rest and enjoy, and we should finish the hike before 5 pm. After the hike, we will have a stop at a brewery or cidery (we will decide on the hike) before we head home.

For more information (including technical details) about this loop, please check "Beaver Valley Short Loop" on the Alltrails app on your phone or click on this link to the website: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/ontario/beaver-valley-short-loop

Please note that this is a long hike and a relatively long day trip if you are coming from the GTA.

We will try to keep a moderate pace of about 3 km/h while slowing down uphill. The trail is challenging with a few uphill sections after which we will stop for short water breaks.

Please be dressed for the weather, wear hiking shoes/boots, bring extra layers and pack your rain gear (just in case), at least 2 L of water, light lunch and several snacks, your sunglasses and/or hut.

We will meet at the Hogg's Falls Parking lot (170491-172753, Lower Valley Rd, Flesherton, ON N0C 1E0)

Please note that this hike is not suitable for a rainy/stormy day and will be cancelled in case of inclement weather.
