Description
Dundas Valley Conservation Area is a magnificent outdoor area consisting of over 40km (about 24.85 mi) of trails located minutes from the downtown core of Hamilton.
Join me this Saturday, January 28th at 11:00 AM as we saunter around the valley. We will explore the deer run loop, homestead trail loop (I saw 3 deer on my pre-hike), Canterbury falls and the main loop.
This will be a moderately paced hike totalling about 10KM. The hike should finish within 3 hours.
We will meet at the picnic tables at the trail centre.
The gatehouse may be open, entry is free if you have your HCA card or $11 if you do not have a membership. Only credit cards are accepted at the gate if there is no attendant.
The trail is gravel or grass with some roots and rocks and some steep hills. Depending on the weather the trail may be snow covered or muddy.
Bring snacks, a warm beverage, and weather-appropriate clothing. Icers may be needed depending on the weather.
Please arrive at 10:45 so we can start promptly at 11:00
If the weather is stormy I will send out an email the morning of the hike letting you know if it's canceled. If you need to cancel please send an email letting me know.
