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 in Primrose if time allows.

Bus departs at 8:30 am from 10 York Mills Rd. We hope to be back in the city by 6 pm.
