- **Event Description**: I know you all love waterfall hikes, so here's another one in Hamilton! 

What to expect:
-11.5km hike suitable for intermediate-level hikers 
- A beginner option to hike only 6km (share an Uber from the Waterfalls parking lot back to Walmart parking lot)
- 329 m elevation gain (some up and down, some inclines)
- forested paths with some technical hiking over tree roots and rocks 
- 30 min lunch break (bring your own lunch) at Smokey Hallow Falls 
- public washroom at the Walmart (free parking, huge lot)
- hike will finish by 5:30pm 

Hike includes:
* 2 distance options 
* free parking 
* yoga stretches to warm up before we start the hike and again at the end of the hike 
* relaxed pace (we are NOT a fast hiking group). We wait for everyone and slow down when needed/stop and take breaks as needed.
* mindful meditation includes forest bathing (still, quiet time in the forest). We will find a spot in the forest to practise for a minimum of 10 minutes of silent meditation. 
* lunch break at the half-way point (bring your own lunch). 

What you need to bring:
- wear hiking shoes/hiking boots/waterproof shoes (check the weather before you leave) 
- pack at least 8 cups of water or hot beverage (4 × 500ml bottles = 8 cups of water ?)
- lunch or snacks and a backpack to carry them in
- optional: hiking poles, mosquito repellant - I have an extra set of hiking poles if anyone needs a set. 

Be prepared for all conditions on trail including mud.
