Description
Join us on this Family Day Discovery Hike from GSCA to Inglis Falls and back - we'll take our time, and see what we can find. We'll cross the Sydenham River, hike through forests, climb the Escarpment, check out geological potholes and take a peek at Inglis Falls, returning via mostly the same route. Free 'Boots on the Trail' badges are available to youth 18 and under. This is also a great route to choose for the By the Seasons badge.
As we'll be taking our time, this hike is suitable for families, new hikers, and anyone wanting a more leisurely hike. All ages are welcome. We'll likely take a couple of hours (possibly more), depending on the group - dress in layers, bring a snack, and wear good footwear. Given that February conditions can be variable, an email re: trail conditions to expect will be sent out prior to our hike together. As this is a well-used stretch of trail, it's anticipated that snowshoes are not necessary. The trail may be slippery-icy or mucky in portions.
