This is what the escarpment looks like when the colour is at its height, and the photographs below were taken right there. Devil's Glen sits on the Niagara Escarpment inside Ontario's Greenbelt, and 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.

Ontario Parks does not report on Devil's Glen itself, so this is the nearest park it does report on: Mono Cliffs, half an hour south down the same escarpment. Seventy percent turned and only ten percent down. Our Sunday is 18 October, which on that reading should be deep colour with some of it underfoot, and if the escarpment peaks early you are walking through the tail of it rather than the middle. That is our read of somebody else's number, not a promise. The live report is linked below and we check it.
One date, Sunday 18 October.

A walk through Devil's Glen in autumn, filmed and posted by @wellnesstravelled. It plays on TikTok.
Filmed by @wellnesstravelled. Pressing play loads the video from TikTok, which will know you watched it.
Pick your date below. The bus leaves from 34 Asquith Avenue, just north of Yonge and Bloor.
Cancel 14 or more days before you go and you get 90% back.
A Parkbus guide leads the group all day, so you do not need to know the trail.
A few hours on real trail with roots, rocks and some climbing, so wear proper shoes.
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.
A hike with lunch in the middle of it.
We pick you up
About 100 metres north of the Yonge and Bloor subway entrance, on the Yonge Street side. There may be more than one coach, so check you are in the right queue.
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:
We drop you back
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.
A day's walking, and everything you need on your back.
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.
Bring a lunch that comes home with you: the wrapping, the apple core, all of it. There are no bins to use.
One Sunday, for the colour. The date and the fares below come straight from the booking system.
Only one trip scheduled
October 18
This is the only date this season, so there is no second chance at it.
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.
The trails, the ecosystems, and what you are looking at, rather than just a lift to a car park.
No rush and no single file. ActiveDays trips are as much about the people as the distance.
This one runs for the autumn, which is when this stretch of escarpment is worth the drive.
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!!”Linda Ann · Facebook · Jun 2024
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.Sharlene Haye · Google
Came with my friend in April, our guide Mike did a great job! Nice tour, small group, everything was great! Will go again!Natalia N. · Tripadvisor · Jul 2025
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.
Red, orange and gold, and somebody else drives you home through it.
Not quite the right fit? These all leave from the same spot downtown.
