Description

Join us to visit Niagara Glen (https://www.niagaraparks.com/visit/attractions/niagara-glen), Queenston Heights, and Niagara-on-the-Lake (https://www.niagaraonthelake.com/).

There will be 4-5 km of trails at Niagara Glen (excluding the rocky Whirlpool Trail). The terrain is Moderate (Difficulty Level 2) trails suitable for most hikers with basic trail experience and with infrequent obstacles and gently rolling areas with some short, steep sections. A loop will bring us through the Devil’s Arch. There are steep staircases going down into the gorge and coming back up.

After Niagara Glen the bus will take us to Queenston Heights Park where there is a beautiful view over the Niagara River towards Lake Ontario and where we will hike part of the General Brock Side Trail.

Finally we head to the town of Niagara On The Lake where you will have free time to spend as you wish (refreshments, shopping, etc) in the historic town before heading back to Toronto.

The pro-rated parking fee of $1.35 for bus parking at Niagara On The Lake will be added to the bus fare when registering.
