Description
Parking on the north end of 2nd Concession S in the Sydenham section, we will access the Silent Valley Side Trail and head towards the Wilson Homestead Side Trail. Afterwards, we will do a loop around Avalanche Pass Side Trail and investigate the Vanishing Wall Side Trail. We will visit the site of the Cessna 205 plane crash, look for the barn foundation stones, limestone kiln remains and many other treasures. You can even search for fossils! There will be some scrambling over rocks. Bring a snack or lunch and water.
