Have you been waiting for winter to end so you can push yourself on an exceptional two day hilly hike? Here is your opportunity to shine! Registration is now open for this super popular hike that will earn you the Red Trillium Badge upon completing the Dufferin section of the Bruce Trail in two days: May 10 and 11. Join us for a fun weekend of hills and valleys. Walk, stride, jog, but be sure to meet us at Mono Cliffs Provincial Park early on May 10. Soon you’ll be ticking off those kilometres as you make your way through the Boyne Valley, Kilgorie, Honeywood Ridge, Black Bank and Lavender. In spring, the trail winds through a mecca of beautiful spring flowers and early green leaf foliage. And if there’s been rain, you’ll be navigating slippery muddy trails. It’s all part of the fun – especially if you remember to take care of your feet! We suggest you carry electrolytes and gel band-aids for a more comfortable hike. Dufferin is famous for its volunteer check points with delicious snacks to refuel your bones. We’ve got you covered with our “Sweeps” so no one is left behind for any reason. We can’t wait to welcome you to this beautiful section of the Bruce Trail and encourage you to register early and bring a friend.
