Distance: 5 kmsDescription
We will be snowshoeing on a trail that leads west from the roadside parking on 11th Line and climbs up the escarpment. The trail meets the main trail going north along the escarpment. We return by descending through a wide (and safe) crevice to make our way back to our cars. The trail offers great views from the top of the escarpment, as well lots of exercise climbing up and down the escarpment. Hiking poles will be helpful on this outing. Please note that this trail is a snowshoe only trail so if conditions do not permit snowshoeing, I will lead a hike at Bayview Escarpment. You will be informed by email whether we are snowshoeing or hiking. If you need more information or are unable to register, please call or text the leader at 647-918-4180.
