Description

Join us for 17 km shuttle hike along the Main Trail from Kelso to Speyside.  We will be up high on the escarpment with a good view of Toronto and points south.  In fact, breathtaking lookouts will abound!  The hike will be a touch rocky in sections but nothing to worry about.  There will be crevices and cliffs so caution required.  Please bring 2L  of water minimum, a snack, a lunch, bug spray, sunscreen a keen appreciation of nature and a smile.  Please arrive at Helena Road at 8:45 am to be ready to shuttle at 9.  A reservation may be required with Conservation Halton depending on the number of hikers who sign up.  I will email registered hikers closer to the time in order to arrange that if required.  A Conservation Halton Annual Membership is highly recommended.
