🍁Niagara Falls Hiking Day Trip — Trails and Dinner !!

🍁 Fall Niagara Falls Hiking Trip
🌦️ Rain or Shine!
The adventure goes on — whether it’s golden sunshine, crisp autumn air, or a little mist from the Falls (it is Niagara, after all!).
***
🥾 About the Trip
Let’s escape the city for a full fall day of fresh air, friendship, and breathtaking scenery! We’ll explore the natural side of Niagara Falls — less tourist traps, more trails, trees, and pure wonder.
We’ll meet outside the Fairmont Royal York (Front St. W) in the morning, hop on the GO Train, and head to Niagara Glen Nature Reserve for an afternoon hike among ancient boulders and the turquoise waters of the Niagara River.
This hike includes stairs (about three flights) and uneven terrain — so bring your comfy hiking shoes or sturdy runners (flip-flops will cry).
***
🌲 The Trail Experience
The Niagara Glen is a hidden gem — carved out of the gorge thousands of years ago. We’ll follow winding forest paths, stop for photos, and take in the beauty of fall leaves glowing against the mighty river.
It’s about 4 km total, with lots of opportunities to pause, chat, and soak in the view.
⚠️🥾 IMPORTANT: HIKE EXPECTATIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 🥾⚠️
This is a real hiking trail, not a casual walk.
You need to arrive knowing you can:
✔️ Walk for an extended period of time
✔️ Handle uneven terrain and elevation (including the climb back up)
✔️ Keep a steady group pace without frequent stops
This is not the time to test your fitness level or “see how it goes.”
If you are unsure whether you can complete the hike, please sit this one out.
👉 If someone is unable to keep up, they may be asked to turn back or continue at their own pace.
The group will not be stopping or slowing down significantly, as it impacts the experience for everyone.
This is about keeping the group safe, on track, and enjoyable for all.

🍔 Dinner & Cozy Evening
After the hike, we’ll head to Chuck’s Roadhouse on Clifton Hill for a relaxed dinner (everyone pays for their own meal).
It’s friendly, affordable, and always buzzing after a big day outdoors.
Please Note - This place is not the most vegetarian friendly place. If you will not be joining us because of that reason. Please let me know as will be trying to make reservations. This should not be something you tell me lat minute.

🎇 Niagara Falls
After dinner, we’ll stroll down to the Falls and enjoy the rolling sound of the majestic falls.

🚆 TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENT
To keep things simple and organized:
👉 Only those traveling together on the GO Train with the group will be able to participate.
We will not be meeting people at Niagara Falls.
This helps avoid confusion, delays, and coordination issues, and keeps the group moving smoothly from start to finish.
