Mount Nemo, one of the most popular scenic spots in the GTA, offers breathtaking views of the Niagara Escarpment while being conveniently close to the city.
Despite its proximity, the area feels beautifully removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
As we hike along the ancient limestone formations that shape the escarpment, we’ll be on the lookout for Eastern Cedars, some of the oldest living trees in the world.
This is a fun 7 km hike that's accessible but a super interesting hike - you'll feel truly connected with the escarpment as you walk through cracks in the rock and alongside ancient forest that goes all the way to the cliff edge.
On this hike you can expect:
- Ancient cedar trees
- Sweeping panoramic views
- Dramatic escarpment ridge formations
- Scramble up rocks & wooden ladders
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 snow shoes can be rented for a small fee.
