Description
We will park at km 44.2 on the St Vincent-Sydenham Townline.
This hike takes us south on the white blazed trail exploring the Woodford Escarpment Side Trail
and Waisberg SIde Trail before stopping for lunch.
We will hike through some crevices, see a giant pothole converted into a lime kiln,
and other signs of an old pioneer settlement (church foundation) all while enjoying a beautiful escarpment edge.
After lunch we will retrace our steps on the white blazed trail
and explore the Crevice Springs Side Trail’s crevices formed when dolostone loosened from the face of the escarpment.
Ultimately, we will descend through an interesting
crevice called the “hole-in-the-wall” before beginning our ascent.
Bring lunch and water.
