Come explore the unique and subtle beauty of Ontario winter with this iconic hike just over an hour north-west of Toronto.

Steeped in dramatic cliff formations and abundant hardwood forests, this stunning provincial park is loved by nature enthusiasts across Ontario. It is a geological gem shaped by the lumbered movement of ancient glaciers and filled with rich biodiversity.

On this hike you can expect:

  • Boundless maple groves
  • Sweeping panoramic views
  • Epic, 30-meter-high rock formations
  • Unique plant life that thrives in the park’s cool, shaded valleys

This is a moderately challenging 8 km hike with a consistent incline and decline. We’ll hike across open fields, through quiet forest, and along cliff edges that reveal incredible views of the surrounding countryside. Our final destination is Jacob’s Ladder, a wooden staircase that winds through a narrow rock corridor and offers an unforgettable finish to the climb.

Depending on snow levels we may be required to use snowshoes or ice spikes. We have a limited quantity available that you can grab at check-out. Ice spikes are free to borrow and snow shoes can be rented for a small fee.

Note that self drivers will need to purchase a full day vehicle permit in advance.

About Wilderness Union
Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people.

Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad.

Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming!
