Itinerary:
Enjoy the best of spring: Hiking, Hiking and Hiking in the Bruce Trail!!!!!!!

We will start at the Hilton Falls Conservation Area, with a short visit to the Hilton Falls by the side trail; then we will take back the main Bruce Trail. We will pass Kelso Conservation Area and follow the trail until Crawford lake.

In some point of the trail, we will have lunch.

This hike will be a one-way, we will have car shuttles between start and end. Bring something warm to wear while waiting for the drivers at the start (Hilton Falls), and at the end (Crawford lake) you could explore the Iroquoian Village.

We will be hiking at a moderate peace (between 3.5 and 4.0 km per hour), not too fast not too slow. We are expecting the trails to be muddy, good hiking footwear is mandatory

Come and have a lot of fun!!!!

We will try to finish by 4 pm, and we will be back at Downsview around 6:15pm approximately. There will not be clock-pressure in this event, so if you need to be back to Toronto, please sign-up at your own risk, since no guarantee could be provide (traffic, weather, etc.) and we will be in a relaxed no-clock-pressure trip.
