Sunday July 7.  Loops & Lattes - #15 Gage Park/Escarpment Loop

Leader: Maureen Hills  hillsmaur@gmail.com

Distance: 9 Km

Pace: Moderate (3-4 Km/hr)

Terrain: Moderate

Hike description: We start at the impressive Gage Park. At the end of the hike you can check out their new greenhouses or explore the park further. Less than half of this urban hike is through pleasant east end neighbourhoods. There are also great views along the escarpment on a gently uphill paved rail trail. No climbing stairs, however we do go down the Kenilworth/Kimberly Drive stairs. We are going to get an early start to avoid the midday heat of July. Bring snacks and water.  Optional Lattes or brunch at local cafe in east end Hamilton.

Meeting location: Park at the Gage Park parking lot off Lawrence Road (just east of Gage Park Ave South). As you enter the parking lot drive beyond Roselawn Lawn Bowling club and the ball diamond and park in the section to the left of the lot.
