TOUR CATEGORY: Hiking/cycling Tour, Multi-day. DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Intermediate β Recent experience hiking/cycling for 4+ hours required βοΈ DESCRIPTION Enjoy an exciting guided tour of this word-renowned region of Canada, and experience a scenic hike down the Niagara Gorge, on the American side of Niagara Falls. Take part in a leisurely bike ride along the scenic Niagara River Recreation Trail, a paved path for walking and cycling built in 1986, connecting Niagara Falls with Niagara on the Lake, along the Canadian side of the Niagara River. During an official visit in 1943, Sir Winston Churchill drove along the parallel road, named Niagara Parkway, and described it as "the prettiest Sunday afternoon drive in the world". For a bigger rush of adrenaline, join a group hike on a popular trail ending on the banks of the spectacular Niagara River. From the tourist area of Niagara Falls, we will cross the Rainbow Bridge on foot over to the trailhead on the American side (PASSPORT required to cross the border). Our scenic hike will follow the Niagara Gorge Trail all the way to the bottom of the gorge, with impressive views of the river and the Niagara Falls skyline. The route then follows the picturesque Niagara River out to Whirlpool Point. Whirlpool Point is a great place to stop for a lunch break and soak up the breathtaking views of Whirlpool State Park. The majority of this route is exposed to the sun, so be sure to use sun protection and carry plenty of water, especially in the hotter months. On the last day, enjoy some free time to experience the beauty of the Canadian waterfalls, and/or, stroll the busy streets of Clifton Hill to marvel at some tourist attractions, or treat yourself to a zesty meal or some souvenir shopping before returning home. β’ Max 8 participants.
