Description
This hike is Geology Hike # 12 following Beth Gilhespy's book, "Walking Through Time Exploring Niagara Escarpment Geology in the Sydenham Section". During this hike you will observe three fascinating layers of the Niagara Escarpment along with prime examples of cambering, crevices and fossils. The open view over Bass Lake at the halfway point is the perfect stop for our snack.
Please bring water, snacks and poles as needed. The hike leader will have copies of Beth Gilhespy's book for sale, $37.00 cash (exact change please) or e-transfer.
