Difficulty: Moderate
Length: 6.5 miles / 10.4 km
Duration: 1-3 hours
 
Overview: Due to seasonal extremes in temperature and the forces of gravity, large blocks of rock have broken away from the main face of the Niagara Escarpment. The gradual shifting downwards of these huge blocks has produced the crevice caves of the Collingwood-Blue Mountain area. The park's range of microclimates supports interesting cliff face vegetation communities.

Tips:
This is a wonderful hike, make sure to wear bug spray as you will go through fields and the deer flies are not pleasant in the warmer season.

Rocks can be slippery as it is damp near the crevice's so be careful.

There are some places that involve climbing up or down big rocks which probably would be difficult for children or some dogs.
