ELORA GORGE PHOTO HIKE


I'm running this hike a second time, as the point+ shoot camera crowd didn't get to go the first time.

There are fantastic photo opportunities at Elora Gorge, from the 75 ft.limestone walls of the gorge itself, to waterfalls and small caves. We'll celebrate Earth Day with a hike along the gorge as well as take time to walk around the town.

This is a photo walk + not a fitness hike so you MUST have a camera to participate and be prepared to go at the group pace.

Anyone going off on their own will be removed from the event. At the end of the day we will stop at a local pub to warm up + compare photos before heading back to the city. Please do not sign up if you cannot stay for the entire event.

PRIORITY will go to those who attend other photo hikes with TOC.

NO SHOWS: Anyone cancelling within 24 hours of the event will receive an automatic no show

WAITING LIST: If you are a new member I will try to get you on an event. Otherwise, to help make the waiting list fair to everyone I will give priority to people who regularly show up when they sign up.
