Enjoy a leisurely hike with fantastic views of the fall colours at their peak.
The Beaver Valley Bruce Trail Club has completed a major reroute of the main Bruce Trail onto the newly secured Eagle's Summit Nature Reserve and created a new East Mountain Side Trail to make a beautiful loop with the main Trail. We will combine this loop with another loop at Old Baldy. Most of the trail is along the top of the escarpment with great views. Bring your camera.
The hike is approximately 12km long. The terrain is moderate with some ups and downs as well as rocks and roots. Bring a packed lunch to enjoy on the trail.
Pub stop after the hike.

Join us in creating your own piece of art on Thursday, Oct. 30th from 10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The instructor will provide all materials and each member will paint the same picture. The instructor will give the group a choice of art from four or five samples of which the whole group agrees on painting one of these themselves. Each member must bring their own apron.
Afterwards, we have booked an optional lunch to follow at "Justin's Oven" nearby in the village of Kimberley. Each member will order and pay for their meal at the restaurant.
The cost of the event is no more than $50.00 and the cost depends on the number of members attending. We will begin registration by taking reservations only.
