Description
This is an extended version of Geology Hike # 5, following Beth Gilhespy's book "Walking Through Time" in the Sydenham Bruce Trail Section. This is a linear hike, starting on a rail trail and then entering the main trail and hiking east to the amazing karst geology, towering cliffs and cambering features of this iconic crevice system. We will return the same way.
Copies of Beth's book will be available for purchase. Special member's only price of $37.00 . Cash, cheque or etransfer. If paying with cash, please bring exact change. A special guest may join us ! Please bring water and a snack if you wish. Proper hiking footwear and hiking poles are recommended.
