EVENT DETAILS
So, this is my first time leading this 10 KM
hike along the Bruce Trail. I've done the section
around Rockway Falls, but never done Louth
Conservation Area.
Please bring a lunch and at
least 1-2 Litres
of water. We will stop for lunch at the top of
Rockway Falls.
EVENT STATS
Distance: 10.5 KM
Terrain: Primarily single track dirt trails,
with some rocky sections - typically, this section
of the Bruce Trail is very muddy this time of the
year
Trail vs Road: 9 vs 1
Elevation Range: 40 Meters
Challenging Climbs of Note: 4 climbs of over
25 meters
Largest Ascent: 40 m
Washrooms: No
Highlights: 2 Waterfalls
I usually carry a pair of icers with me from
the first snowfall of the year until the end of
April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack
to deal with any potential ice. You can find
the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WON'T BE A CARPOOL
FOR
THIS HIKE DUE TO CURRENT TOC COVID-19
