The hike is named in memory of Glen Ferguson, who was a dedicated and proficient hiker. The route includes a side trail generously dedicated in August, 2000 by the Iroquoia Club of the Bruce Trail Association in memory of Glen and you will see signs marking the Glen Ferguson Side Trail. In May 2010, hikers raised $20,014, for the McMaster University Bone Marrow Transplant/Leukemia Research Fund. The hike has now raised $198,000 and is the single biggest contributor to the fund.

The hike begins at the parking lot at Webster's Falls in Dundas. The trail covers 4 to 5 kilometres on top of the Niagara Escarpment and involves only very small hills and some stairs. The hike will take about 1.5 hours at a leisurely pace. Scenery along the way includes Webster's Falls, Spencer Gorge and Tew Falls.
There will also be a guided "power hike" for those who would like to move at a brisk pace.
| Facilities | There are usually portable toilet facilities near Webster’s Falls. There is NO drinking water on either route; hikers should bring their own water. |
