Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $32.25 (calculated at total Km * $0.258, effective Saturday, April 27, 2024). This is based on $0.08/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Your event coordinator will confirm exactly how much money is required from each person.

Notes:

This hike will go on in case of moderate rain. It'll be canceled only if a severe thunderstorm is forecast.
Washrooms are available only at the Dundas Valley Trail Centre. For the rest of the path, trees and bushes are your best friends.
A couple of dollars may be added to the carpool cost stated above: if there is not enough parking space, some of the cars may need to be driven to the Tiffany Falls parking lot or be parked at the Dundas Valley trail centre parking lot ($9 per vehicle).
