Who wants a badge? To celebrate the Caledon BT's birthday, they are giving* special edition badges to anyone who completes the whole Caledon section of the Bruce trail (called an "end to end"). So I'm going to post a series 5 hikes that will take us through the entire 71 km of trail. Our hikes will take us through some of the most diverse sections of the Bruce Trail. With deep lush valleys and vast views of Toronto, you will be pleasantly surprised at what you will experience.
Welcome to the first episode in the series of hikes along the Caledon section of the Bruce Trail. The hike will cover the first 18 km of the Caledon trail. We'll be hiking through the world famous Cheltenham Badlands, and the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park. While there isn't too much road to cover on this hike, there are right-of-ways which appear hilly on the maps. We'll stop for a lunch break at around the half-way mark.
Here are the Important Details
- The hike involves a car-shuttle. Passengers should bring an extra jacket to wear while they wait for the cars (jackets can be left in the car at the end so that you don't need to carry them the whole distance)
- Pace is moderate. ~ 4 km / hour is expected. Don't sign up if you want to go really fast.
- Maps # 14/15 of the BT guide book. You can purchase individual maps if you don't own the book and want to have them for your own reference. Click here for more information.
- Hike goes rain / snow or shine. DO NOT sign up if you don't have rain gear and / or aren't willing to hike in the rain.
- In order to get a badge, you need to; a) keep a log of the dates/locations and distances hiked, and b) once complete, send in your logs and $5 to the Caledon Bruce trail to cover shipping / handling costs. You can go here for more information.
