Distance:        9 km (out & back)

Hike Rating:  Level 2 with some rocky, uneven terrain & tree roots. 

Hike Description:  For this Spring hike, wear something bright and/or flowery!

We’ll follow the main Bruce Trail on this in-and-out route and pass through beautiful forests and view large moss-covered crevices and enjoy an incredible view of Milton from the ridgetop trail.  This route takes you to the Dufferin Gap – the only break in the entire 725k long, 450-million-year-old Niagara Escarpment. This 40m-long gap is now spanned by a bridge that was built in 1991 and funded by a combination of corporate, private and public funds.  

Recommended: Hiking poles and sturdy hiking shoes or boots.  Bring water, snacks, insect repellent, sunscreen, health card/ID and wear long pants.

Dress for the weather and bring rain gear (just in case). No dogs please.
