Itinerary:

All day hike duration allows for the driving distance of about 2 hrs each 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.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY HIKE. If you never hiked with me before, please provide few examples of your experience within the comments section. Because this is a last minute posting, please don't sign up unless you're certain that you're able to attend.

HIKE DETAILS: We will hike the 13.1 km northerly loop of the very picturesque Falling Waters Section. The loop involves two long accents and descents into Beaver Valley, plus other ups and downs. We hope to be rewarded with great lookouts over the Beaver Valley. NOTE that there is rain in forecast for Saturday and a light rain is in the forecast for much of our hiking day on Sunday, so trails likely be slippery, muddy and wet. There is also some road walking involved.

The hiking pace will be approximately 4 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.

Final number of attendees will depend on the # of carpool drivers. 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.

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.

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