Welcome to the Toronto Bruce Trail Club Bus Hike and Coach Trip page. Hike the Bruce Trail and explore Ontario’s national and provincial parks without a car. Join us for outdoor adventures all year round. In the winter enjoy cross-country ski and winter hiking/snowshoeing outings to some of Ontario’s best Nordic ski centres like Arrowhead Provincial Park and Highlands Nordic. Registration for bus hikes typically starts two weeks in advance of trip dates. For more information, click on the links in the list below and review trip details.

Trips depart from York Mills Subway Station (in front of 10 York Mills Rd) or Kipling Subway Station (the North Parking Lot).

Bus Hike means travel is on a school bus. Coach Trip means travel is on a luxury highway coach (climatized, ample leg room, overhead bins for stowing backpacks, washroom on board).
