Right near ground zero, you will notice a stark change in the landscape. You are transitioning from open trails to a thick, dark forest of evergreen trees. If you are here when there is no snow on the ground, take note of the thick carpet of pine needles on the trail. It’s an incredible feeling to run through here (as I have many times) and feel as if you are bouncing off of the ground!
This is a series of simple caches placed to give you an excuse to get out and enjoy this section of the Dundas Valley Conservation Area. They are all traditional caches, and there is no final, so enjoy the hike and find as many caches as you like. Parking is available and can be accessed from the main entrance to the Conservation Area on Governor’s Rd. Admission is $10 per vehicle and it’s well worth the price! You can check out the trail centre, the trains, the bird blind and of course, all the trails! Note: I named the caches as I placed them on a clockwise hike on the trail. The names might not make as much sense if you find them the other way.
