Description
This is a series of 7 hikes to earn the Beaver Valley Geology badge. We will use the criteria listed in Beth Gilhespy's book, Walking Through Time, Exploring Niagara Escarpment Geology in the Beaver Valley Bruce Trail Section. We'll boost our knowledge of the local geology along the way as we take the required photos. Hikers are welcome to join any or all of the hikes, however, they must complete all 7 hikes to earn the badge. Bring sufficient water and snacks.

Transportation
It is the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s current policy that car shuttles are allowed. It is at the discrepancy of individual hike leaders to make that decision.
Other Guidelines
- Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
- Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience. - Always carry I.D. and your health card.
- Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
- Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
- Bring your own first aid kit.
- Please leave dogs at home.
