Description
This is part A of Geology Hike #6 (Palisades section) following Beth Gilhespy's book "Walking Through Time" in the Sydenham Bruce Trail Section. You will be immersed in a wilderness of towering rock, talus boulders and thick tree cover. Scenic viewpoint from Raven's Nest Sidetrail.
This is a balloon hike, starting from the parking lot at Harrison Park Inn, hiking north along the Harrison Park sidetrail up to 7th Avenue East access to the main trail and returning back on the Palisades side trail and back to our starting point.
Please bring water and a snack if you wish. Proper hiking footwear and hiking poles are recommended.
