Winter Hike at Hilton Falls
December 4th, 2022
Waterfalls are beautiful in EVERY season
It’s winter in Canada! Don’t let that stop you from getting out into the great outdoors. In fact- why not bundle up and come join us to see what the beauty of winter has to offer?
Situated along the Niagara Escarpment, Hilton Falls conservation area is a fantastic winter destination, just over an hour from the city! With tons of wintery trails, a waterfall, and a roaring fire- there is something for everyone. As a bonus you might hear, see or even feed a chickadee.
There is a modest visitor’s centre where participants can go to warm up.
All of our winter trip are weather dependent. If it’s cold and rainy we’ll cancel the trip.

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.
