Itinerary:
We will hike the Humber Valley Heritage Trail, from Palgrave and the Caledon Rail Trail to New Glasgow in the town of Bolton.

Proceeding south from the Trans Canada Trail, we will traverse Albion Hills Conservation Area and Duffy's Lane through an interesting array of old fields, meadows, lowland cedar groves, mature upland maple forests, and finally ancient Hemlock groves before crossing the Humber River at the lost settlement of New Glasgow.

The hike is approximately 20km of low hills. It is long but not very difficult.

We will consolidate cars in Bolton then start from the Trail Head along Humber Station Road at the intersection with the Caledon Rail Trail. The hike will end back at the car(s) in Bolton, and we will have to retrieve those left outside Palgrave.

Members are invited to Matt E's back yard post event, if the weather is nice.
