Description
Come join us for the final bus hike of Winter, 2025-2026. The hike will cover the last 2.5 km of the Toronto section of the Main Bruce Trail and then follow the western section of the Caledon Trailway back to Terra Cotta Conservation Area. For those who have been on the five previous Winter Badge E2E hikes, completing this bus trip will qualify you for the awarding of the badge on this hike. For anyone taking this hike, it will be a moderate hike over the path of a former Canadian National (CN) rail line, originally built in 1877. Since the path is over the old rail bed, it is well-drained and well-surfaced, flat, and straight. However, it goes through woods and meadows, and we are already seeing there spring migratory birds like red-winged blackbirds and flocks of cedar waxwings. A celebration of the ending of the winter bus hikes and social hour will be held in Georgetown after the hike. Any hikers joining us for the very first time on a hike with the club on the Bruce Trail will receive a "My First Hike" badge.
