ORTA Map 6; 10 km; 3.5 hrs including shuttle time; moderate-fast pace (4-4.5 km/hr).
This hike takes us east from Walker’s Woods into the East Duffins Headwaters Skyloft Tract area moving through Crow’s Pass Conservation Area. We will pass the tiny hamlet of Ashburn and our hike will end on High Point Road.
This will be a through hike, not a loop hike – we will be meeting at the endpoint, doing a shuttle to the start point, and then hiking east towards the endpoint. One or more volunteers will be needed to be shuttle drivers.
For anyone working on an End-to-End Hike this is one of an occasional series of hikes along the Oak Ridges Main Trail, mostly on the off-road sections, in York and Durham Regions. This is the second of 3 hikes in Durham Region.
Registration is limited to 10 hikers.
No dogs please.
PARKING: High Point Rd half-way between Ashburn Rd and Smith Side Rd.

Come join the Oak Ridges Trail Association (ORTA) on guided hikes / walks through various trails across the top of the GTA from Palgrave to Ganaraska. ORTA offers multiple group hikes and walks each week which continue throughout all four seasons. Our group hikes are available in varying levels of difficulty, speed, distance and terrain. All are led by experienced volunteer hike leaders, each certified in hike leader training and first aid.
Non ORTA members may join a limited number of hikes as a guest, with the permission of the hiker leader and upon signing the required waivers. Visit our website, oakridgestrail.org, to see details of hikes available to non-members together with hike leader contacts, locations, and descriptions of each hike. Also see the FAQ section for more information regarding guest registration as well as to learn more about the Oak Ridges Moraine, our association, becoming a member, and lots of other interesting facts and information.
