We will start at the southern terminus of the Bruce Trail at
Queenston Hights and hike along the main trail - highlights being
the bridge over QEW, the screaming tunnel to the Woodend
Conservation Area and Niagara College Campus. There we will pick
up Wetland Ridge Side trail that will take us to Niagara College to its
wetland area and gardens. Not sure what can be seen there at this
time of the year, but hopefully we can stop by and visit College's,
Greenhouse, Brewery, Wine Visitor Education Centre and
Benchmark Restaurant The Restaurant will be open
for dinner and I will look to make reservations once I know how
many of us be coming. Please note that if I manage to get
reservations, we're all going, so bring money and be prepared to
participate. UPDATE: We have reservations for dinner at the
restaurant. Please bring a clean pair of shoes to wear. We don't
want to treck mud into the restaurant
About the hike we will hike at an average pace of about 4 km/h. Slower on the uphills. Make sure you're able to hike the distance at stated pace of the group. Weather at this time of the year is unpredictable. ICERS may be required on this hike. Speedsters will be put at the back of the group. We will travel as a group, pausing frequently along some sections to take some photos. This also means that to achieve the average pace you will need to hike bit faster in other sections. This hike involves a car shuttle, hike will be modified or
postponed
if not enough drivers sign up. Also, additional participants will be
added as space permits.
