Hike description:
Series of End-to-End (E2E) hikes through the Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail. This is a series of 9 hikes, to complete ~ 122 km of this section, running from Grimsby to Milton along the Niagara Escarpment. Come and hike with Joanna, earn a badge or just have fun and, socialize. The Iroquoia section has lots to offer: beautiful waterfalls, few wineries, spectacular views specially passing near Hamilton, Mount Nemo and Kelso, and a varied terrain. For those whose goal is to earn a badge we will create a log. Badge cost is 10$ for BTC members or 15 for non-members. Note, you need to hike the full length of Iroquoia section to earn a badge, but if you are not able to join us on one of the hikes, you can re-do the hike on your own.
Third hike of the series: will start us right away with a waterfall: Buttermilk Falls. Next Albion Falls. At the end we will add a little extra steps to see Upper Sanatorium Falls and Clefview Falls. Also lets not forget great views and lookouts. After the hike you may want to visit Whitehern Historic House & Garden. https://www.hamilton.ca/things-do/hamilton-civic-museums/whitehern-historic-house-garden-national-historic-site
