Description
This is a summer-time End-to-End hike to complete the Toronto section of the Bruce Trail in 4 hikes. Join for all or as many hikes as desired.
This first hike will take us from the start of the Toronto Section just south of Hilton Falls Conservation area to the Bruce Trail Pear Tree Park. The terrain is not too hilly, but the footing is tricky with many uneven, rocky sections to navigate.
July weather can be hot, muggy and buggy! So, dress for the weather, keeping in mind that insects, including ticks, will be out in full force. Take appropriate precautions to avoid insect bites, including using repellant and clothing that covers the legs and arms. Hiking boots are required and hiking poles are recommended.
Bring plenty of fluids, including electrolytes, and a snack.
As this is a group hike, please consider your fitness level before registering. We will be walking at a pace of 3km – 4km per hour and everyone is expected to keep up with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike.
Plan to arrive at the meeting place by 8:15 a.m. as we will start the car shuffle to the hike starting point at 8:30 a.m. sharp. Further details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
