Best Hiking Trails near Hamilton

"Other noteable waterfalls nearby: Tiffany Falls, Washboard Falls, Canterbury Falls. Nearby trails: Bruce Trail (Some access across private property is restricted), Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail, Heritage Trail. Sherman Falls is one of my favourite falls."

"Clifford has been providing delicious beer to nearly a hundred licensed establishments since 2015. However, in a way they are the newest brewery on this list as they just moved into a permanent location on Nash Road only a few months ago. It will be open to the public later this January and I’m excited to see what new beers they come up with."

"Brad Clifford first launched Clifford Brewing Company in Hamilton in January, 2015. The new brewery opened in the Fall of 2017, while its taproom and retail store welcomed guests in 2018. The space was formerly a mattress factory and when purchased was just an open industrial space."

"Joe and Lindsey Mrav opened Grain & Grit Beer Co in October, 2017. The Hamilton couple who have always loved craft beer made their dream a reality after hiring Alex Sporn as Head Brewer. The Hamilton brewery’s name comes from the quote, “Your dreams are on the other side of your grit.” The Mrav’s were thinking about the ingredients that it takes to start a brewery, and happily settled on Grain & Grit."

"Located conveniently by its neighbour Fairweather Brewing Co., Grain & Grit is another impressive newcomer to the Hamilton craft beer scene. Its small taproom, white painted walls and high ceilings give it a cozy, trendy feel. They already sell an impressive amount of swag in their shop including t-shirts featuring art from their regular line-up of beers as well as cans ready to bring home."

"Albion Falls is easily one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Hamilton, rippling over the Niagara Escarpment in Red Hill Valley. This incredible cascade waterfall you won’t soon forget stands 18 metres wide and 19 metres tall with the water tumbling over rock that’s transformed into steps and shelves over time. Although there’s no access to the bottom, Albion Falls is visible from two viewing platforms, so you can admire the gorgeous waterfall while being surrounded by lush greenery."

"You'd need to travel a long way beyond Hamilton to find a cascade waterfall as beautiful as this one. Safety concerns have reduced access to the foot of the falls, but the viewing platforms sill make for excellent photo opportunities of this natural wonder. The photo ops are endless at Tiffany Falls."

"At 62 feet (19 metres) Albion Falls is one of the most majestic waterfalls in Hamilton thanks to the steep cliff face and tree coverage. The large boulders on the bottom add to its majesty. In summer many people used to visit the waterfalls and bask in the sun on the boulders."
