This badge is earned by hiking each of 8 hikes outlined in Beth Gilhespy’s first Bruce Trail Geology book, Walking Through Time, and then submitting a log which includes the required photo taken during each of the hikes. You can do the hikes with us, on your own, or a combination of both. This is a great opportunity to boost your knowledge of the geology of the Niagara Escarpment. Gather some hiking buddies and become rock hounds! Description: Len Gertier Memorial Loree Forest: Natural Arch at Stop 4 (page 43). Natural arches are created when water pounding against a cliff face exploits crack and crevices, gradually wearing the rock away. Natural arches can become flowerpots if erosion continues. Thousands of years ago, the level of the Great Lakes was significantly higher and lapped up against the promontory of Loree Forest.
