Itinerary:

Early Sunday start today to allow for the driving distance of about 2 hrs one way. Please arrive 15 min before carpool departure time so that we can be on the road on time. Don't sign up if you need to be back home by specific time.

The hike is for intermediate or advanced hikers only. If you never hiked with me before, please provide few examples of your experience within the comments section. Also, if you're in a habit of signing up and then cancelling, please wait to sign up until you're fairly certain that you're able to attend.

HIKE DETAILS: We will hike the 22 km southerly loop of the very picturesque Falling Waters Section. It includes the Eugenia Falls and the Hogg's Falls. There would be numerous steep up's and down's along the way and we will be rewarded with great lookouts over the Beaver Valley.

The hiking pace will be approximately 3.5 km per hour, slower pace on the uphills. I am a SLOW hiker, making frequent stops to take photos :) Please be prepared to respect my style of hiking. Thanks.

We will hike as a group, and thus, wait as necessary for everyone, If you think you'll have uncontrollable urges to be constantly on the move or to sprint ahead, this is NOT an event for you. Speedsters will be put at the back of the line.

Please ensure you can hike the distance over the uneven and steep hilly terrain, and at the specified pace BEFORE you sign up.

There will also be a parking fee of $6/car, cost of which will be shared.

If you're travelling by TTC to the carpool location, you're responsible for taking into consideration the TTC SUNDAY schedule, any service disruptions, etc in order to arrive on time. Also note, we will meet at the Passenger Pick Up location that's off Subway Crescent (not any other place at Kipling station.. ask TTC staff if you're not sure and need direction.

BE PREPARED: We will hike as a group. Again, if you think you may be sprinting ahead... don't sign up! We will be hiking rain, snow, or sunshine.
