  3. Continue north on Highway 10.
  4. Travel past Regional Road 9, Caledon Family Restaurant, and Forks of the Credit Road.
  5. Turn left (West) at Escarpment Sideroad. This intersection is hard to see, so pay attention.

The start time is 11:15am. Google maps is spitting out the coordinates 43.8311280, -79.9802600.

Remarks

Devil's Pulpit is a rocky climb from the bottom of Forks of the Credit Valley, to the top of the escarpment. The leaves are coming out, so it should be pretty. Let's be careful out there.
