Description
A quiet walk west along the Bruce Trail through forest and under the eye of interesting Escarpment cliffs, peacefully crossing streams and then following the Nottawasaga Bluffs Lookout Trail, on and through the magical Keyhole Side Trail to re-join the Main Trail. Lunch break at a lookout point. After lunch we quietly continue through forest on the Main Trail to the Hamilton Brothers Side Trail and return to our start point. Hiking boots necessary for short, steep sections on and around the Keyhole Side Trail. Please bring lunch and water. A fine and humble way to appreciate Canada Day!
