Description
Join me for a loop hike beginning on the Brantford-Hamilton rail trail. We will follow the path that railway engineers used to descend the escarpment into Dundas Valley Conservation Area, then we will explore some trails in the valley, finally returning via the rail trail to our starting point.
Park along the roadside on Slote Rd near the intersection with Mineral Springs Rd.
Please bring enough water, snacks and a lunch. There are washrooms in the Dundas Valley trail centre -- we will eat lunch there. We will hike about 15 km return. Please check the weather and dress accordingly -- wear hiking boots or trail runners, a hat with a brim, and bring sunscreen. The hike will run, rain or shine.
