DAY 1: APRIL 26 - We will meet at Cityview Park and car shuttle to Spencer Gorge Parking Lot (Conservation Halton) and hike back. The cost at this parking lot is $16.50 per vehicle and driver plus $5.50 for each passenger. To be confirmed. Day 1 Distance (to be confirmed) 21-23km at a brisk pace, with opportunities to stop for photos & a break along the way.

DAY 2: APRIL 27 - We will meet in the parking area off of Mud St and car shuttle to Artaban Rd Parking Lot (Conservation Hamilton) and hike back. The cost for this parking lot is $11.00 per vehicle. To be confirmed. Day 1 Distance (to be confirmed) 22-25km, with opportunities to stop for photos & a break along the way.

Please ensure your vehicle is car shuttle ready by having a minimum of 4 seatbelts available - drivers do not pay for the parking. Please volunteer for this important component of this challenge or we can throw all the names into a hat. While we encourage carpooling to the start of the hike, please let the hike leader know if you're planning to arrive with more than two people in your vehicle.  This hike will be limited to 20 people including the hike leader so we will need at least 4 vehicles and one vehicle with 5 seatbelts to drive the drivers back at the end of the day. We will try to take as few vehicles as possible. On the second day, those who did not drive on the first day will be asked to drive.

There will be short breaks along the way to admire the waterfalls on route and a short lunch.

Please bring all the hiking items  you require for a long day hike including 2l of water, snacks, lunch, first aid kit, rain gear if rain is forecast, plastic shower caps for your boots if muddy, bug spray, sunscreen, rimmed hat, poles (if you use them) and your camera for all the photo ops. Please ensure you are physically able to complete two long day hikes over two days - if you must drop out, you will have to arrange your own transportation back to your vehicle. There is public transportation, Uber, and taxi's in the area. If you are concerned about whether you will be able to manage the distance over the two day period, it's possible that you may need to wait until a 4 day version of this event is posted.

The new badge will be presented to all participants who have completed the challenge at the end of the second day.
