Itinerary:

This hike will be an end to end with a car shuttle. We will explore valleys and lowlands watching for the abundant wildlife that thrives throughout this valley corridor. Passing through Glen Haffy Conservation Area, look out points will allow you to see abundant forests that stretch east. Our Bruce trail hike will then leads us east into the Palgrave side trail which will lead to our final destination, Palgrave Conservation Area.

The hike is approximately 17 km, with most of the hilly sections at the beginning. We will find a suitable place to stop for lunch about half way through. At the end of the hike, the passengers can wait by the gazebo while the drivers fetch the cars.

On the way back to Downsview, if the weather is nice, we’ll make a quick stop back in time to “Happy Days” ice cream parlour in Bolton.
