Hike Description:
Enjoy a guided 9.5km - 10.5km (5hrs) hike at Metcalfe Rock and through the Duncan Escarpment Provincial Nature Reserve. The hike starts a short distance from the Metcalfe Crevice where you will explore the caves. You will then ascend to the top of Metcalfe Rock enjoying several lookout points along the way over the Kolapore Creek Valley.
Your guide will then lead you through a mature forest containing ancient white cedars, apple trees and several deep crevices; before reaching a beautiful waterfall just over midway through the hike. We will stop for a well deserved break and lunch while we enjoy the waterfall, before returning back to the starting location.
What to bring:
Water, snacks, appropriate clothing, based on the weather forecast, closed toe shoes are required, hiking boots/shoes or running shoes are preferred.
Apres Hike:
After a long day of hiking consider stopping into The Roost Winery and Vineyard only 2.5km from the start/finish location. This is a fantastic place to experience cold-climate wines in a spectacular setting.

Minimum 2 persons for this tour.
What makes this tour unique is that your guide will customize your experience based on your interests.
All guests will experience the same walk through the Metcalfe crevice, Duncan Caves and a break at the waterfall. However, your guide will work with you to customize the loop into the falls and back, giving you the ability to “choose your own adventure” on your way back. There are three different route options, varying in length from 8.5km to 10.5km (5hrs). Some offer more beautiful lookouts, others more cave and crevice exploration opportunities.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
