Kelso is a Halton Region conservation area.
Kelso has tall cliffs which have been the scene of fatal accidents!
Be careful around the edges. Do not cross barriers. Keep an eye out for careless hikers. Don't rush along the trails. Do what the hike leader tells you. We don't want accidents.
This is an escarpment hike, and hiking boots are strongly recommended.
Do not load "Kelso" into your automobile GPS.
