Itinerary:

My trek on Bruce Trail continues...

We will start at DeCew House and explore it's remnants. On the hike we visit and explore the historic Morningstar Mill and the DeCew falls. If trail conditions permit, we'll come down the gorge and walk behind the falls. Note that this would involve a steep descent and ascent. We then hike into the Short Hills Provincial Park and hike several trails (as time permits) within the park, including the Black Walnut side trail. We will end the hike near Rockway Conservation.

BE PREPARED: There will be lots of easy strolling, stopping and looking around the historic sites but there will also lots of hills (the park is not called Short Hills for nothing). Average hiking pace will be 4 to 4.5 km/h for about 5 to 6 hours. Please ensure you can hike the distance at the specified pace before you sign up. We will hike as group. If you think you may be sprinting ahead... don't sign up!

We will be going rain or shine. Dress for the weather.

The event involves a car shuttle. Those who are willing to drive will be moved preferentially off the waiting list. Please plan to be out all day. No early departures.

We will find a stop for a quick drink/snack on the way back to settle carpool expenses.
