    Beaver Valley Winter End 2 End!

    In this series of 8 hikes you will get a chance to test your strength, endurance and perseverance! You will be rewarded with the breathtaking views of winter in the valley, good company and of course a BEAVER VALLEY WINTER END2END BADGE!!!

    This E2E is intended for strong hikers/experienced snowshoers only.  We will be hiking at a steady pace with very few short breaks to be sure we keep warm. As we need to be prepared for variable weather conditions, you will be required to carry icers and snowshoes with you on each hike. It will be tough hiking so be sure of your physical ability before signing up for this hike. If the snow is deep, please be prepared to take a turn blazing trail.

    This will be a team effort from start to finish! Who wants to join the team?

    As we all know Mother Nature can throw us curve balls at times. I will ask each hiker to please respect the decisions of the leader in case of inclement weather/road & parking conditions. We may need to adjust our meeting location and possibly postpone the hike.

    Make sure to dress accordingly with the weather conditions presented on hike day.

    A hike schedule will be sent to registered participants.

    Due to parking restrictions we will only be accepting 12 hikers including the hike leader.

    The Beaver Valley Winter E2E is a club lead series that can only be completed with a club leader.

    All hikes in this series will include a car shuttle and everyone will take a turn as a shuttle driver. Please have your vehicle passenger ready.

    If you have any questions please text me (Kristina) @ 519-410-9077 (this is the most efficient way)

    Please bring plenty of water and snacks/lunch

    No dogs

    Please text Kristina @ 519-410-9077 for morning of cancelations

     

    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.

    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.
    4. Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
    5. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
    6. Bring your own first aid kit.
    7. Please leave dogs at home.
