Walking the Grand - Year 2!!

Charles and Jim continued their 2nd year of the 275-kilometre trek on the Grand Valley Trail which began in the Spring of 2015.

This series of hikes started with nine weekend hikes, which allowed 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 are approximately 15 to 20 kilometres each, which allowed time for socializing, photography and general good fellowship. Be prepared to have a great time. We welcome hike leaders in training. 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.
