Description
Join us for this memorable hiking adventure and be part of a community dedicated to preserving and enjoying the natural beauty of the Bruce Trail. During this series, we will complete the Peninsula section of the Bruce Trail over 18 hikes. The series will begin in Wiarton and finish in Tobermory. The majority of the hikes will be completed south to north.
This hike is open only to Bruce Trail Conservancy members. Non-members can join by signing up for a one-year membership at https://brucetrail.org/product-category/memberships/
The registration fee includes bus shuttle, Bruce Peninsula National Park (BPNP) fees, and end-to-end badge fee. Surplus funds, if any, support PBTC's hike program.
This series is designed for intermediate hikers comfortable with moderate challenges, including longer distances and elevation gains. The average pace will be around 2 km/hour, although we may hike up to 3 km/hour at times. The total distance is approximately 172 km with no dropout points. Most hikes range between 8 and 12 km, although the longest hike is 18 km. During this series, we will stop frequently to take snack/lunch/water breaks, enjoy the many scenic views, and check out the flora and fauna.
Transportation will be by bus to and from the start and end points. Hikes start around 9-10 am, with start and return times varying based on daily hiking distance and bus schedule. A detailed itinerary will be sent to participants before the first hike. This schedule is subject to change.
This is a group hike. Participants must be committed to completing the entire series, and are expected to stay with the group the entire time. If you prefer to hike at a faster pace, Peninsula BTC offers other end-to-end hikes that may be more suitable for you. We also offer other types of hikes that will help you get in shape for the end-to-end.
Please bring proper hiking boots, layered clothing for varying weather, hat with a visor, and wet weather gear. Hiking poles are recommended. Also, pack sufficient food, snacks and water for a full day, sunscreen, and insect spray.
We adhere to Leave No Trace principles, aka "Take only pictures, leave only footprints."
Dogs are not permitted on this hike.
Accommodation options near the meeting locations include motels, campgrounds, hostels, and B&Bs. Early reservations are recommended.
