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.
Fourth hike of the series: Chedoke Park to Dundas Valley will take us to Tiffany Falls to which we will take a side trail. Next is Sherman Falls (unfortunately we can not get close to the falls due to bridge repairs). After it we will enter the beautiful Dundas Valley Conservation Area and see Canterbury Falls. When we exit the Conservation Area we will pass McCormack Pond where possibly we might see a school of goldfish. Those are invasive species but they are fun to watch.
