Itinerary:

In February, we started a quest to hike the entire Caledon section of the Bruce Trail (which totals 70.8 km) – in 5 separate hikes. Why? Well, in order to get a special 50th anniversary badge! This will be the third hike in the series, and we’ll cross the half way mark within the first few km.

A few TOC members have already come out to the first two hikes, and plan to finish with me. However, everyone is welcome! This is a hike just like any other, so please sign up if you are interested in hiking this section of the Bruce Trail.

This hike will take us through Glen Haffy Conservation area. The trail is hilly in sections, as it travels up and down a few valleys. It may also be muddy due to the spring run-off and the hills we’ll be encountering.

Say “Good Bye” to winter in the first hike of the series to be officially in Spring.
