Description

On this multi-day series of sampler hikes, discover some amazing loop trails in the northern three sections of the Bruce Trail. Hikes are moderate in length and difficulty and time will be taken to experience and observe the special features in each of these sections. This is a great introduction for those new to hiking the Bruce Trail and also for seasoned hikers that want to explore and/or revisit some great spots!

Each hiker will be offered a Passport to Nature booklet on their first day and will earn a Club sticker for each of Days 1-3 to stamp their booklet.

Day 1 in Beaver Valley: Metcalfe Rock loop (9 km) and Old Baldy Lookout (2.5 km). These are two separate hikes and we will drive from one to the next.
Day 2 in Sydenham: Bayview Escarpment loop (14 km)- a mix of forested ridge and field and roadside to close the loop.
Day 3 in Peninsula : Sydney Bay Bluff loop (7 km) and Rush Cove loop (5 km) *these hikes have a major climb on a ladder and some difficult footing. But wow. Views....
Day 4 (if staying overnight): Choose your own adventure! I can make suggestions or you can hit your favourite destination or goal hike before heading for home!

Accommodations: Please contact hike leader for options.
