Toronto Section - Winston Churchill Blvd (42.9 km) to Caledon Hills Section - Chinguacousy Road (2.8 km)


This week HWF hiked 10.3 km on the last Toronto Section and the first bit of the Caledon Section with a diversion to visit the Badlands.  It was a beautiful Spring day with a bright blue sky and just a little mud on the trail.




Thirteen hikers joined the hike Ivan (Photographer), Doug (Sweep), Catherine, Grace, Donna, Frances, Renu, Faryde, Laura, Annette, Marleen, Barbara (HC), Peter

  Peninsula Section - Series #1- Covering from the Start at Wiarton (0.0 km) to Jackson's Cove Rd. (52.0 km)...with a visit in Sydenham Section to Bruce's Caves - May 27-30, 2024. ---------------------   Day One - Colpoy's Bay (6.6 km) to Bruce's Caves (163.7 km) - May 27, 2024. The Hiking With Friends group was back up north for four challenging days of Bruce Trail adventure as our spring plan to tackle the Peninsula Section got underway...the first of the four hikes was planned from the parking at Colpoy's Bay, through the start of the section in Wiarton, with an added Sydenham Section walk to Bruce's Caves... This 5 hour journey over almost 16 km involved a modest 162 meters of climbing, and was a great introduction to peninsula hiking to those who were up here for the first time, with a chance to meet Wiarton Willy (the concrete statue version) and topped off by a visit to the iconic Bruce's Caves...the weather was threatening, but in the end, we had nar...

  Iroquoia Section - Crawford Lake (104.5 km) to Mount Nemo (91.0 km) - March 13, 2025. After over a month off the trail due to a seemingly endless stretch of inclement weather on consecutive Thursdays having caused frustrating cancellations, Hiking With Friends were finally rewarded with a classic late winter day to get out and enjoy our favourite walking path...and we took on a 15 km route from Crawford Lake southward to Mount Nemo with all our pent up energy (which, it turned out, was well needed to complete the journey)...and there was a nice celebration at the end to cap off a glorious outing!.. While hiking the Bruce Trail is our passion and we are seemingly quite proficient at it, our logistical organization can often be "a work in progress"...fortunately, with an experienced hike coordinator in charge, we eventually got sorted out and successfully assembled our group of 20 hikers in the parking lot at Crawford Lake to get our morning selfie shot on record...today'...

The sun was shining as we finished the hike at the Northern Cairn. Then off to the ice cream shop for the end of hike treat! The rest of the HWF group arrived for dinner at Ship Wreck Lees.      End of Day One -------------- Day Two : Crane Lake Road (125.4 km) to Dyer's Bay (113.0 km) - Monday, June 24, 2024. The weather was beautiful.  Cloudless, moderate temperature, light breeze.  Perfect for hiking. While the End-to-End group hiked the Main Trail, Michael and Marlene hiked the side trails shown on the Map. ...
