119. TIFFANY FALLS (10.5 KM) (1/13/2024)

THE CARPOOL LEAVES KIPLING SUBWAY STATION AT 8:45 AM

This is my first time leading this particular route with the TOC.

However, I've been on all sections of this hike at least twice before and this waterfall 7 times before.
This hike will be on a combination of the Bruce Trail, its side trails and the Chedoke Radial Trail

Please bring a lunch and at least 1-2 litres of water.
We'll do lunch by Tiffany Falls

If you cannot walk the entire distance please do not sign up for this hike.

For those of you choosing to meet at the event location, instead of the carpool, please ensure that you come on time

I’ve set the maximum event count at 1 as I don’t want to add anyone to the event until I have enough carpool drivers to accommodate passengers.
I will try accommodate up to 30 people.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A SUBWAY CLOSURE ON LINE 1 BETWEEN ST GEORGE & ST ANDREW STATION THIS WEEKEND

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'HERE ON AMAZON'.
