Description

Probably the best place in all of the GTA for Fall colour viewing. As the season progresses, the full show of colours makes its way further South and we should be visiting during the absolute peak.

Rattlesnake Point is beautiful any time but during Fall, it's spectacular. The trail weaves along the Niagara Escarpment and takes us high up on cliffs that give some incredible panoramic views over the surrounding area. We'll take a trail that brings us into the Nassagaweya Canyon, bringing us through dense forest and into wide open viewpoints before winding along the Bruce Trail.

This will be an easy 8.5km hike and, being just under an hour from the city, a relatively easy trip to experience some breathtaking nature.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
