We are going on a super hike that will make you a super hero. Did you know that there are over 100 waterfalls in the Hamilton Area? Really you say, it's Niagara on the ledge. Our friend the Niagara Escarpment. We may have to climb down or up to get to the best vantage point, but we love this stuff.

We are going to hike and see two of the waterfalls out of 100 today. Felker's Falls, affectionately known by hikers as F*ckers Falls and the great Devil's Punchbowl. Google them if you want to see images and learn more.

The start time of 10:00am is at the trailhead.

There is no pick-up at York Mills.

Remarks

Lunch once again will be at your favorite log. Pack a gourmet delight to dazzle your hiking pals. Water will be everywhere, but bring a liter and a half or you will be lapping it up by the waterfall. By the way, for those of you that are reticent or hesitant about going in the woods and are not drinking enough, you will be in for a nasty experience once you start to dehydrate and the Archangel (your hike leader) does not feel like carrying you out or calling 911. Drink a lot and pee a lot.

Last bud not least, it's time to take a hike.
