The BMBTC offers a volunteer-run service for hikers wanting a shuttle between start and end points of a hike. Hikers with a single vehicle can arrange a shuttle in advance of a planned hike in the area. We make every effort to accommodate all requests, however cannot guarantee there will always be a volunteer available. Please send your request at least a week or two before you intend to hike. Once confirmed, a Trail Angel meets with the hiker(s) at their car, parked at the end of the planned route and takes the hiker(s) to the start of their hike.
Send your request to TrailAngels@bmbtc.org. Include the following details about your hike:
- Hike date.
- Pick up time. No earlier than 7 am please, for our volunteers.
- Finish point of the hike. State Map # and km from The Bruce Trail Reference: Maps and Trail Guide and include description of location (for example, parking lot description included in the guide). This becomes the pick-up location where you meet the Trail Angel.
- Number of people getting a ride (maximum 4 please)
- Where they are being dropped off (starting point of the hike)
The BMBTC will confirm the shuttle with you.
The Blue Mountains Trail Angels volunteer their time and gas with an expectation that their rider will make a donation to the Bruce Trail.
Prefered method is by e-transfer directly to the Blue Mountains club. e-transfers can be made to BMBTC Treasurer bmbtc.treasurer@gmail.com
This account is set up as autodeposit, no need for any passwords. Please include that you are doing the transfer as a result of using our Trail Angel service. If you would like a tax receipt for your donation (any amounts > $20) they will be processed at the end of the year, and please remember to include your full name, email address and mailing address so they can be processed appropriately.
Alternatively, you can make a donation online to the Bruce Trail Conservancy. On the BTC website, select “Donate Now”. Select a “Donation Amount’, and choose “Single Donation”. On the next page look for the “Comment” box. Enter “Trail Angel service by the Blue Mountains Club”.
