Bruce Peninsula Winter Escape

Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on our website.

Escape into winter’s beauty with a journey to the Grotto, a hiking jewel on the famed Bruce Peninsula.

The area is full of unique, dramatic landscapes with stark cliffs and views over the enormous Georgian Bay. We'll be tackling a moderately difficult 8.5km hike through some of the most incredible winter scenery this province has to offer.

We'll hike through the forest and along the beach, ending up at the incredible rock formations and crystal clear waters of the Grotto. Here we'll stop for lunch, taking in the incredible views and the untouched snow covering before hiking on to the backcountry Stormhaven Campsite. On the way we'll cross pebble beaches, forest trails and unreal views of Lake Huron before coming back the way we came.

You're strongly recommended to choose transportation for this trip due to the popularity of this location. Self drivers will need to purchase a permit for parking well in advance. Precise instructions are shared in the trip plan received upon registration.

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.

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!
