### 🥾 About the Trip
Join us for a full fall day exploring the natural side of Niagara Falls — less tourist traps, more trails, trees, and breathtaking views!
We’ll meet outside the Fairmont Royal York (Front St. W) in the morning, then take the GO Train to Niagara Falls. From there, we’ll transfer onto the WEGO bus to reach the Niagara Glen Nature Centre, where our hike begins.
This hike includes stairs (about 3 flights up and down) and uneven terrain — proper footwear is a must! Think hiking shoes or sturdy runners (no flip-flops, please).
***
### 🌲 What You’ll See
> “Discover some of nature’s most beautiful and mysterious creations at the Niagara Glen. Located deep in the Niagara Gorge, stairways lead to four kilometres (2.5 miles) of rugged hiking paths that wind through pristine Carolinian forest, past prehistoric rock formations, wild flora and fauna. The Niagara Glen overlooks the rapid waters of the Niagara River.”
We’ll explore the trail system together, enjoy a rest break mid-hike, and take time for photos.
Participants should be able to navigate stairs and uneven terrain independently.
(If needed, you can finish the trail at your own pace — that’s totally fine.)

### 🍔 Dinner & Evening Plan
After the hike, we’ll take the bus to Clifton Hill for dinner at Chuck’s Roadhouse — one of our favourite affordable group spots! Chuck's is not the most vegetarian friendly.
> You’ll pay for your own meal.

After dinner, we’ll stroll over to the Falls for the evening lights before heading back to the GO Station.
