Description
Join us for a fantastic fall hike in the Dufferin Highlands (Map 20). Enjoy awesome views from Murphy's Pinnacle and the Mulmur Lookout.
We will split into two groups. The fast group will do the Primrose Loop Side Trail and then follow the main trail north to km 29.6 (about a 16 km hike). If time permits the fast group will also do the Rock Hill Park Side Trail. The moderate group will head straight to Murphy's Pinnacle and follow the main trail north to km 29.6 (about a 13 km hike).
Pack water, lunch, sun and rain protection.
Refreshment stop at Sonnen Hill Brewing (https://sonnenhill.com/). Sit back, relax, and socialize with your hiking friends while you sip a fresh, cold, local brew or non-alcoholic beverage in their beautiful beer garden. Or walk up to their lookout for more great views (a 20 minute loop).
