Celebrate the upcoming holidays with a march along the Bruce Trail and a visit to a local artisan market!

We will begin our hike at the Spirit Tree Estate Cidery parking lot and then follow the main trail on Boston Mills Road and Creditview Road in order to reach the Cheltenham Badlands. We will continue our hike along the main trail that runs through the Badlands, as well as walk along Olde Baseline Road for a short distance in order to see the Badlands in all their glory! We will then retrace our steps to return to Spirit Tree Estate Cidery.
After our hike, we’ll visit the “Handcrafted with Love” artisan market at Spirit Tree Estate Cidery to do a little holiday shopping, and we’ll follow that up with a delicious pizza lunch enjoyed outdoors at the cidery.

I will point out and identify trees and wildflowers as we hike, as well as explain plant life cycles.
