Description
Let's take a local hike starting in a Beamsville neighbourhood after work or school!
This neighbourhood loop hike starts in Beamsville's local Ashby park, goes up Hillside trail (past the monarch way station), across Hillside and up Hixon to join the Bruce trail. From there we will hike east on the Bruce Trail towards Quarry road, and then loop back to Ashby park.
The pace of the hike will be moderate. The terrain is mixed with some paved paths, street and sidewalk, as well as the trail. There are some rocky sections of the trail.
Meet at 5:15 by the playground in the park to depart at 5:30. Limited street parking available next to the park, or walk if you live nearby! The full loop should take around 1.5 hours (max 2 hours) depending on our collective pace.
Hiking shoes are needed, poles are recommended. Carry water and some snacks.
