Description
Join local PBTC hike leaders for a guided hike of the nearby Bruce Trail – both main trail and the Burnt Loop Sidetrail. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the cedar forest, as you witness the pretty waterviews of Little Dunks Bay and pretty vistas of Georgian Bay, Flower Pot Island, Bears Rump Island, and Middle Island. You will also pass the Bruce Peninsula National Park Visitor Centre – a must-see – if you are visiting Tobermory for the first time! And, don't forget the iconic northern Bruce Trail Cairn – where the official opening of the Bruce Trail occurred in 1967. The main trail is wheelchair accessible to the first lookout on the Burnt Loop Access Trail. This hike is suitable for families with children 8 years and older. Here, you may choose to retrace your steps to the village on your own. Or, consider continuing with the hike leaders on the rest of Burnt Loop Sidetrail . If joining the hike for the entire Burnt Loop Sidetrail , be prepared for rocky and rooty terrain which requires good balance. Wear sturdy footwear and sun protective clothing. Bring a backpack to carry your waterbottle and a light snack. If hiking the full hiking route, be prepared for about a 3 hour hike. If hiking to the first lookout and back, this will take approximately 1 hour.
