Itinerary:

The terrain is hilly and challenging - some streams to ford, some steep hills. Distance is 30.9 km, pace is 5-6km an hour. This is a challenging and wonderfully scenic hike with many water features.

This hike is suitable for advanced hikers. Hikers coming on this event are expected to have D5 level experience and be able to hike at a minimum pace of 5 km/h over relentlessly hilly terrain. If you don't have a history with the TOC (or think your history doesn't appropriately reflect you hiking ability), please include some comments about your hiking experience in the notes to convince me that you can keep up. It is the responsibility of those coming to ensure they can hike at this pace before joining us. There will be no dropouts.

The Falling Water Trail forms a rugged and scenic loop around the Beaver Valley section of the Bruce Trail. We'll pass by Escarpment edges, limestone cliffs, maple woodlots, open fields, steep slopes, grueling ascents, many small streams, waterfalls and pools, Eugenia Falls, and Hogg's falls.

Note: The subway won't be running that early on Sunday, so make sure that you factor that in when planning your route to the carpool location.

Those willing to drive will be given preference on the waiting list
