Hamilton’s nature is a well-kept secret, as the city contains the most waterfalls of any city in the world! We hear their beer is pretty good too…
For this adventure we're combining a hike with a mini food tour. First, we'll hike to the falls: this easy 8km hike will take us on a beautiful loop through the Dundas Valley Conservation Area, passing by Canterbury and Sherman Falls.
The hike crosses the Bruce Trail as we make our way along the Niagara Escarpment, so we'll be going through, over, or around fields, forests, orchards and plenty of streams.
Once we finish hiking, we’ll head into town and drop in for a pint and some lunch at Merit craft brewery. There'll be non-alcoholic options available, making it suitable for all members.
Please note that self-drivers will need to pay for parking both at the trailhead and in town, which totals around $15. We recommend joining us on the bus to save on costs and hassle!
Depending on snow levels we may be required to use snowshoes or ice spikes. We have a limited quantity available that you can grab at check-out. Ice spikes are free to borrow and snowshoes can be rented for a small fee.
