Hike Description:
Enjoy a guided 5.5km (2.5hr) hike a top the Niagara Escarpment that starts with an open trail before entering into the denser forest on route to the keyhole (1m high arch) the entrance into the spectacular Nottawasaga Bluffs Caves. The caves are less visited in the winter, are easier to navigate with the snow levelling out the ground and the contrast in colors between, the snow, caves and sparkling ice-covered walls is spectacular. After exploring the main caves, you will be treated with an epic lookout and a hot chocolate while taking in the amazing view. Lastly, we will explore the Best Caves (long narrow crevices) before heading back to the starting location.
What to bring:
Water, snack, suitable boots, warm clothing.
Nottawasaga Bluffs Caves tour VS. the Singhampton Caves tour:
The Singhampton caves are all open, have taller walls making them more grandeur. The Nottawasaga Bluffs main caves are less numerous, but side caves offer more closed/underground discovery options and a larger lookout point.
