A guided walk into the Greenbelt at the height of the colour

Devil's Glen is one of the more scenic parks on the Niagara Escarpment and it is at its best in October. A Parkbus guide leads the day, talks through the ecosystems, and stops trailside for lunch. Walk with the group or wander at your own pace.

Book your seat

Pick your date below. The bus leaves from 34 Asquith Avenue, just north of Yonge and Bloor.

Coming soon

This one is happening. Tickets are not up yet.

We are running this one. The seats are not loaded into the booking system yet, so there is nothing to click. Leave your email and you will hear the moment it opens, which is usually before it goes anywhere else.

Cancel 14 or more days before you go and you get 90% back.

Guided

A Parkbus guide is with the group for the whole day. You are not expected to know the trail, the route or the plan, and nobody gets left behind.

Moderate

A few hours of walking on real trail, with uneven ground and some climbing. Roots, rocks and hills, so proper shoes matter. Not a stroll.

What's included
  • Round trip coach from 34 Asquith Avenue, Toronto
  • A Parkbus guide leading the hike
  • Park admission
  • Reclining seats, air conditioning and a washroom on board
What's waiting for you

Escarpment views under a red canopy

Devil's Glen sits on the Niagara Escarpment inside Ontario's Greenbelt, and the views are framed by the trees, which in October means red, orange and gold.

Your guide leads the trails, talks about the park's ecosystems, and stops trailside for lunch.

It is an ActiveDays trip: come on your own or with somebody, walk with the group or find your own pace. There is no rush in it.

New trails. New friends. New stories.

Trails through the park with a Parkbus guide, and a stop trailside to eat. Bring your lunch and take the wrapping home with you.

Good to know:

  • Bring plenty of water and a lunch that packs out
  • Do not forget a camera. The colour can be brilliant.
  • There are no washrooms in the park. We stop on the way there and on the way back.

We drop you back

34 Asquith Avenue, Toronto

Back in the city7:00 PM

The bus returns to the same place it left from, so you go home the way you came.

This is our estimated return time, not a guarantee. Traffic can change it and some trips do run late, so please leave yourself some room afterwards rather than booking something tight against it.

Know before you go

A day's walking, and everything you need on your back.

There are no washrooms in this park

None at all. The bus stops on the way there and on the way back, and that is what there is. Plan the day around it.

Pack it in, pack it out

Bring a lunch that comes home with you: the wrapping, the apple core, all of it. There are no bins to use.

What to bring

Essential FAQ

Is this a guided trip?
Yes. A Parkbus guide leads the hike for the day and stops trailside for lunch. You can walk with the group or at your own pace.
Are there washrooms?
Not in the park. The bus stops on the way there and on the way back.
Do I need to bring lunch?
Yes, and lots of water. Pack it in and pack it out: bring your rubbish home with you.
When does it run?
For the autumn colour. Exact dates come from the booking system.
What should I bring?
Walking shoes or boots with grip, plenty of water, a lunch and a bag for the rubbish, layers for the weather, and a camera.
What if I have to cancel?
Cancel more than 14 days before you go and you get 90% back. The other 10% is what the payment processor keeps and we never see it. Inside 14 days we cannot refund, with one exception: a medical emergency in the 48 hours before departure, with a doctor's note. If we are the ones who cancel, you get everything back. The full policy is on our terms of service page.

New to Parkbus? Here's the deal

We're Canada's outdoor bus service. Since 2010 we've taken more than 300,000 people to parks and trails without a car. You bring a lunch. We handle everything with wheels.

A Parkbus guided group together before setting off

A guide who explains it

The trails, the ecosystems, and what you are looking at, rather than just a lift to a car park.

Walk with the group or don't

No rush and no single file. ActiveDays trips are as much about the people as the distance.

Peak colour, on purpose

This one runs for the autumn, which is when this stretch of escarpment is worth the drive.

You don't drive home

Which after a day of walking is most of the appeal.

I just recently went on my first guided tour with a friend of mine from work. And man, was it amazing! Speaking from someone who doesn’t drive. This is a must!!

I have always had excellent experiences with Parkbus. I have been to many of their destinations, and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. The ambassadors have been knowledgeable and friendly. The drivers drive safely, and with the passengers’ comfort in mind.

If your plans change

Cancel more than 14 days before departure and you get a 90% refund, with 10% withheld for payment processing. Inside 14 days refunds are not available, except for a medical emergency in the 48 hours before departure, which needs a signed doctor’s note within 14 days of the missed trip and returns 50%. Tickets are transferable: you can change the passenger name up to 48 hours before departure.

If Parkbus cancels a trip, you get a full refund. We decide no later than 48 hours before departure and only on confirmed conditions: the park closed or the park authority asking us to stand down, an evacuation order or alert, an area restriction order, the highway closed, or the trip judged unsafe to run. A forecast is not one of those things, and trips run rain or shine.
