Group Hike at Hilton Falls

hiking, waterfalls and a toasty fire

April 16, 2022

Waterfalls are beautiful in EVERY season

It’s spring in Canada! That means spring flowers, baby plants and rushing waters. This is one of the best times to get out and visit your favourite waterfall and exactly why we’re headed out for our spring adventure to Hilton Falls.

Situated along the Niagara Escarpment, Hilton Falls conservation area is a fantastic destination, just over an hour from the city! With tons of winding trails, a waterfall and a roaring fire- there is something for everyone.

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. There may be a number of groups hiking at various speeds for you to take part in, or the option to explore o your own.

Active Days 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 bring printed copies of the waiver to sign on the bus. You can find a digital copy of a sample waiver HERE
