Description

This is a special series of 6 hikes to complete the entire Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail over three weekends.  There is an accomplishment badge, included in the registration fee – which was designed by Joe Borges and features the Jefferson Salamander.

For this E2E in 6, we will be following the main trail southbound from Milton to Grimsby. Please note that you are signing up for the entire series of six hikes as a Group Hike. This hike is geared to experienced long distance hikers with the expectation of a 3.5 to 4.5 km/hr pace maintained over an 17 to 25 km day.  No dropout points have been established and therefore hikers who must drop out, will be responsible for their own transportation. This hike will take place at a BRISK pace.  Please be honest about your degree of physical fitness prior to registration.

Hikers will be expected to wear proper hiking footwear with the expectation of cool and possibly wet weather, with varying trail conditions. Sufficient food and min 2l of water for a full day of hiking is also required. Hiking poles and wet weather gear (if necessary) are recommended. A 10-15 minute on-trail lunch break will be scheduled.

The fee goes towards supporting the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, which is: “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.”

Please note there are no refunds.
