Hockley Valley
Hike leader: Jennifer Rowbotham
Date: Sunday October 4
How to get there
These directions take us to Hockley Hills, via Highway 400. Our
previous directions use
Highway 10. Either ones work.
-
Take Highway 401 west to Highway 400. Make sure you follow
the lane that leads onto Highway 400, and avoid the lane to leads
to Black Creek. There is of course, no exit the 400 from the
express lanes.
-
Follow Highway 400 north to Highway 9/Davis Drive,
exit 55. I believe that this highway is called Davis Drive on
the right hand side of the intersection and Highway 9 on the left.
-
Turn left onto Highway 9 and follow it west, past
Highway 50, to Airport Road. Look for a Petes Donuts on the
southwest corner of Highway 9 and Airport Road.
-
Follow Airport Road north aa few kilometres to Hockley Valley Rd,
which is called No. 7. You will see a flashing yellow light.
-
Turn left onto Hockley Valley Road. and follow it west to
2nd Line E.H.S. You will pass 4th Line E.H.S.,
3rd Line E.H.S. on the north side, 3rd Line E.H.S. on the
south side and finally a gift shop and cafe on your left.
-
Park on the south side of Hockley Valley Road, at 2nd Line E.H.S.
Meeting time is 11:30am.
