ITINERARY:
9am - Pickup from downtown Toronto
Meet At Loblaws Parking Lot (Just south of Dundas West Subway Station) - 2280 Dundas Street West
Directions: Get off at Dundas West Subway station and walk south on Dundas West. In about a block, you’ll see an LCBO and Loblaws grocery store on the east side of the street. Look for the dark blue “Lake Fever” branded van in the parking lot.
10:30am - Welcome to Hamilton, Ontario, where our tour van stops at the perfect place to see Canada's vibrant fall colours. The group is also in close proximity to several cascading waterfalls in the area that will truly impress. Of these, we’ll first visit Tew's Falls, as we follow a trail along the escarpment that brings us to the edge of Dundas Peak. The view up here is what you’ve been waiting for, as you can look out over Spencer Gorge & Hamilton's township of Dundas way down below.
12:15pm - By now we’ve made a short walk over to Webster’s Falls, and we can all sit down for a picnic lunch, with a tasty sandwich spread and snacks. Webster’s is the largest waterfall in the region, and very picturesque indeed.
2pm - Next, frollic down the rabbit hole through Hamilton's Botanical Gardens. We'll hike you out to marshlands strewn with giant reeds, where you can try your hand at some bird watching. Here, you can regularly spot swans and herons milling about the water -a great opportunity for some one-of-a-kind photos.
3:45pm - We wrap up the tour with a visit to Borer's Falls, a 15 metre-high ribbon-style waterfall, often featured on Hamilton's postcards. Lush green vegetation lines the unguarded cliffs here, and the peacefulness offers guests an opportunity to soak in the day's excitement before enjoying a well-deserved nap on our drive home.
6pm - We return to the pick-up point in Toronto to say our goodbyes.
