HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

As a wrap up to Earth Day, we will be working with Conservation Hamilton as part of a larger group to tidy up the Chippawa Trail. The CLUB will also receive a “shout out” for our efforts on the Dundas Rail Trail earlier in the spring.

As experienced hikers, we may be asked to hop in our own vehicles and spread out to locations further along the trail towards Caledonia.

We will also wrap up the day with a walk to enjoy the cleaned up Chippawa Trail
