This hike is on a Wednesday at 10am.

Hike Details:  This is a new hike for many participants and it highlights the various geological levels shown in the Beaver Valley. From the parking area we will head east along a road allowance and the Bruce Trail into the Cuckoo Valley Overlook Nature Preserve, then turn onto the Stew Hilts Side Trail. Following the trail down into the valley we will pass numerous erratics and in mid May lots of Jack in the Pulpit. The view of the falls is closeup, muddy but marvellous.

Difficulty: This is an easy hike if you don't mind going  down and up a very long hill, plus some additional ups and downs. It is likely to be muddy and we will cross some streams with chances of getting wet. Moderate pace. Distance only  3.1 kms however it feels more like 5. This trail is primarily hard pack with some rocky areas. However the close up view of the Hilts Falls and geological strata make it worth while. And there is also the reward of the view over to Cuckoo Valley at the top.  Time: Approx 1.75 hours

As always, please ensure you have the physical ability to handle the length, difficulty and pace.
