Itinerary

    Sat Sep 18: Meet at the Pancake (1520 Main Street West) for breakfast (at your own expense) at 7:00am sharp. We’ll use this time to eat a tasty meal and distribute group gear before catching the HSR to King St W @ Sydenham Rd, hike up Sydenham to meet the Bruce trail. Happily embark west along the Bruce to visit the three Sydenham Falls, Tew’s Falls, Webster’s Falls, Baby Webster’s Falls, Dundas Falls and Hemitage Cascade.  Follow the Merrick Side Trail to an overnight rest area in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area.      
 
 Sun Sep 19: Continue on the Bruce to visit Canterbury Falls, Sherman Falls, Mill Falls, Lower Mill Falls, Tiffany Falls, Filman Falls, Princess Falls, Mountview Falls, Lower Westcliffe Falls, and Lower Cliffview Falls. Exit the Bruce Trail at Locke Street and go out for dinner (if you would like) with your new MOC friends.
