COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike
1. Each hiker joining a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must perform a self-screening check before hiking.
  Find Ontario’s self-assessment tool here: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
2. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, stay home.
3. Personal Protective Equipment:
  - Hikers may choose to wear masks
Transportation
It is the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s current policy that car shuttles are allowed. It is at the discrepancy of individual hike leaders to make that decision.
Other Guidelines
1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
2. Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
  Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
  Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.
3. Always carry I.D. and your health card.

Description

A quiet hike along the Bruce Trail through forest and under the eye of interesting Escarpment cliffs, peacefully crossing streams and then following the Nottawasaga Bluffs Lookout Trail, on and through the magical Keyhole Side Trail to rejoin the Main Trail. Lunch break at a lookout point. After lunch we quietly continue through forest on the Main Trail to the Hamilton Brothers Side Trail and return to our start point. Hiking boots necessary for short, steep sections on and around the Keyhole Side Trail. Please bring lunch and water. A fine way to appreciate the first day of Autumn!
