Walking the Grand - Over TWO Years!!!

Join Charles and Jim for a 275-kilometre trek on the Grand Valley Trail in the two years beginning in the Spring of 2015. We will lead a series of weekend hikes commencing at the southern end of the Grand Valley hiking trail near the mouth of the Grand River south of Dunnville and finishing nine weekend hikes later on top of Pinnacle Hill near the Caledon hamlet of Alton.

This series of hikes will consist of nine weekend hikes in the Spring and Fall of 2015 and 2016 and will allow hikers the opportunity to get away for the weekend and explore the Grand River Valley for much of its length as it drains one of the larger river basins in South-Central Ontario.

The hikes will be approximately 15 to 20 kilometres each, which will allow time for socializing, photography and general good fellowship. Please feel free to join us for any or all of these hikes and be prepared to have a great time. And Yes! We will assist you in maintaining a log-file of your walks in order to receive your end-to-end badges and chevrons.
