Description
From Hilton Falls Conservation Area, we will shuttle to the Bruce Trail Pear Tree Parking. We will make our way to the Hilton Falls Side Trail following the main trail and the Al Shaw Side Trail. We will hike along the Hilton Falls Side Trail to the main trail and the Philip Gosling Side Trail back to Hilton Falls parking lot.
Hydration is important at this time of year. Bring plenty to drink, electrolytes, as well as a snack. Insects, including ticks, are sure to be in full force so take steps to avoid being bitten; wear long sleeves and pants, and bring insect repellent. Also wear hiking boots as the terrain will be quite rugged in areas. Hiking poles are recommended.
Please arrive at the meeting place by 8:15 am for an 8:30 am departure. A park registration will be required for those parking at Hilton Falls for the day. Car shuttle arrangements will be worked out with registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
The hike will be dependent on weather conditions.
