The Main Loop. It's a big hike, but one you must take when in Dundas Valley. I rode my bike around it today and snapped some photos along the way. It's quite a diverse display of habitat, as you can see. Start at the Trail Centre and leave lots of time if you are walking (not riding) - Main Loop is 3.5km with lots of hills. The Dundas Valley Brochure is available from the Hamilton Conservation Authority for more details and maps.
