Description
Meet in the parking lot next to the Hidden Valley Park Washrooms at 9:45 for a 10:00 am start.
This is a 10 km loop hike. Hike distance will be reduced if hiking conditions are poor. Dress appropriately for the weather and for slippery trail conditions. Bring food and water, hiking boots, and icers.
We begin the hike by walking in a north westerly direction along Grindstone Creek on Hidden Valley Road.
We hike local trails along the east side of Grindstone Creek and then cross Grindstone Creek when we join the BTC main trail.
The hike will take us through Clappison (Black) Woods and ends with a walk along Lemonville Road back to our cars.
Participants with a sweet tooth can request a stop at the enormous candy store on Sumach Dr. near the end of the hike.
