Chasing Frozen Waterfalls

sunday february 4

 

Must-see winter adventure

The Dundas Valley lies next to Hamilton — but you would never know it. This conservation area contains waterfalls, forests, meadows, rivers and unique geological formations. The Dundas Valley spreads out into Lake Ontario and is part of the Niagara Escarpment World Biosphere. There is a 450 million year old geologic history here and we will be walking through the biodiverse Carolinian Forest that can be found nowhere else in Canada. Along the way, we will encounter three breathtaking waterfalls — Tiffany, Sherman and Canterbury Falls.

Join us for an adventure to chase frozen waterfalls in Tiffany Falls and Dundas Valley. This captivating trip promises amazing views of some of Ontario's most stunning natural wonders Prepare to be mesmerized by the frozen beauty of the cascading water as it transforms into a breathtaking ice sculpture.

Don't miss your chance to witness these incredible natural spectacles in all their frozen glory!

Intermediate: May be hilly, some rough spots or obstacles. Suitable for hikers with some experience and basic fitness level.

    WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS

To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or wander off on your own adventure.

ActiveDays is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.

All ActiveDays participants are required to sign a waiver. We will send you a digital copy via email. You can find a digital copy of a sample waiver HERE
