HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

The ET & T REVISITED SERIES offers hikes that follow local trails that a group of hikers compiled into a guidebook titled “Escarpment Trails and Treks: Two Hour Hikes in Halton, Hamilton & Niagara.” These hikes are ideal for getting to know local trails in only 2-3 hours and all in close proximity to your home in Halton, Hamilton and Niagara Region of Southern Ontario.

** For today’s hike:  At the top of our loop we will do an out and back to Hilton Falls.  This will be a beautiful spot for some photo ops and a snack.
