  3. Go north on Airport Road.
  4. Continue north on Airport Road through Caledon East, to Highway 9.
  5. Continue north, past Highway 9, to Hockely Valley Road, also called No. 7. You will see a flashing yellow light.
  6. Turn left onto Hockley Valley Road, and follow it west to 2nd line EHS. You will pass 4th line EHS, 3rd line EHS on the north side, 3rd line EHS on the south side, and finally, a gift shop and cafè on your left.

Google Maps sends you up Highways 410 and 10. You drive through Orangeville, and watch for the signs. We know that the signs on Airport Road are prominent. We don't know what the landmarks are from the west side.

Remarks

The hike will be thirteen to fifteen kilometers with lots of hills. Wear your hiking boots and be ready for a workout.
