Itinerary:

We will hike the Humber Valley Heritage Trail, including a section of the Caledon Rail Trail to add some distance, ending at New Glasgow in the town of Bolton.

We will start from Caledon East where the first hour will be a flat warmup on an old railway bed. From Palgrave we will traverse Albion Hills Conservation Area and Duffy's Lane through an interesting array of old fields, meadows, lowland cedar groves, mature upland maple forests, and finally ancient Hemlock groves before crossing the Humber River at the lost settlement of New Glasgow.

This hike is 22-24km including some low hills.

Please meet in Bolton first, where we will consolidate cars, then start on the Caledon Rail Trail from the Caledon East Community Park. The hike will end back at the cars in Bolton, and we will have to retrieve those left behind.

Lunch, water. Expect the possibility of rain.
