Rama PowWow is one of the biggest and best in Ontario. We have planned this hike to take in the Grand Entry at 1 pm when all the contestants will be dressed and dancing in their finest. Our morning hike takes place in the Scout Valley Park along part of the Ganaraska Trail. We will provide a shorter hike of 3 km for naturalists and photographers to observe the flowers and vegetation and birdlife in its woodlands of pine and hardwood with scattered wetlands. There is an option as well for a longer hike of 5.5 km. After a short noon-hour bus ride to the nearby Rama Reserve, we will have a couple of hours to watch the festivities and shop in the market stalls. We will then return to Orillia to begin our hiking again at the site of the remains of 5000-year-old Mnjikaning fish weirs. A late-afternoon 3 km hike along the Ganaraska Trail will take us past the Gordon Lightfoot sculpture park to a stop for ice cream before we head back to Toronto.Bus departs 10 York Mills Rd at 8:00 AM and Major Mackenzie Dr and HWY 400 Park and Ride at 8:20 AM.

The Niagara region is one of Canada’s most productive fruit-growing areas. Strolling along country roads lined with farms and orchards, you’ll see ripe peaches, plums, and grapes hanging from the trees and smell the sweet fragrance of the harvest in the air—you’ll truly understand why it’s called a Fruit Paradise. To make the most of the short harvest season, let’s hike the Niagara section of the Bruce Trail and if you are interested, visit local farms afterward—perhaps even enjoy some fruit picking!This is the second of a five-hike End-to-End series covering the entire Niagara section of the Bruce Trail. The full section stretches over 80 kilometers from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Grimsby. I am using Map Edition 29, so please note that kilometer markings may not be fully up to date, and actual hiking distances may vary slightly.
