Description
Join us for the annual Bruce Trail Day event as we celebrate the Niagara Escarpment and Bruce Trail while promoting one of Ontario's greatest assets to the community at large. On this "School Bus Hike" from Toronto we will hike the Jim Vanderleck Side Trail to where it meets the main Bruce Trail then continue northwards into the Limehouse Conservation Area (home of the "Hole In The Wall", limestone kilns, and the stone arch bridge featured on the Toronto Club's fundraiser End-2-End badge). There will be an optional dropout at approximately 6.6 km where hikers will have the option to be taken directly to the Limehouse Community Hall to view the exhibits and speak with the volunteers at the Toronto Club's Bruce Trail Day drop-in event. Refreshments and snacks will be available. Those wishing to hike further will continue on the Bruce Trail into the Limehouse Conservation area to end the Limehouse Community Hall where they will also have the opportunity to visit the drop-in event before the bus returns to York Mills. In the spirit of our theme of "A Sense Of Belonging" everyone is invited to join us on this hike in the prime hiking season on this special day and non-members will pay the discounted member bus fare of $25 Adults/$10 Children Under 12. Allowing for the later TTC subway opening the bus departure time from York Mills will be a convenient 9:30 AM. Though some uneven surfaces and roots/rocks underfoot can be expected (hiking boots recommended), this route has been chosen to bypass the rockier, more technical, parts of the Toronto Section making the Difficulty Level 1/2 (Easy to Intermediate). TBTC Bus Hikes go rain or shine. No refunds are given unless the club cancels the hike due to insufficient registration or hazardous travel conditions.
