Itinerary:

Please Note.The carpool for this event will be at Kipling subway

Waterfalls are beautiful at all times of the year, but especially so in winter.

We will walk a short distance from our parking area and visit Tiffany Falls. From there we will walk back and join the Bruce Trail visiting Sherman Falls and Canturbury Falls. We will then hike the Homestead Trail where we will see the Hermitage Falls and Heritage Falls.

Joining the main loop,we will pass the ruins of an 1850's mansion known as the Hermitage. Then off to the trail centre for a bite, and maybe a hot chocolate.

From there, depending on how we feel, we may follow the Monarch Trail back to our starting point for a 13k hike, or we may also walk the 3k Sawmill Trail to make it 16k.

We will travel at aproximately 3.5 to 4km/h, taking time to enjoy the scenery and take pictures
