    Our hike starts at the main Bruce Trail at Steeles and Appleby Rd, and continues through the Nassagaweya Canyon connecting Rattlesnake Point to the Crawford Lake Area.  The area features majestic cliffs, rugged rock formations, and lush vegetation — a picturesque landscape that is ideal for nature lovers. Its cliffs provide a perfect habitat for turkey vultures to nest, and they can be seen circling overhead as our journey continues to Crawford Lake and its reconstructed 15th century Iroquoian village, where we’ll be stopping for lunch with time to explore the village if possible.  Archaeological research has found 10,000 artifacts in the area.  From there we’ll continue on the main trail to Kilbride School where the bus will be waiting for us.  There will be a drop-out point at 12.6 km for anyone wishing to end the hike earlier.

    The bus will be leaving from Kipling subway station at 8:30 and the planned return is for 5:00.
