Description
Spend 3 days walking through crevices, exploring caves and gazing over scenic cliffs near Owen Sound. We will learn about the geology of this fascinating area using Beth Gilhespy's book Walking Through Time and each of the hikes will count toward the Geology badge offered through the Sydenham Bruce Trail Club. Distances will be between 9 and 12 km each day with 2-3 loop hikes in different locations.
Accommodation suggestion: After a day on the trail, stay at Silver Lake Mennonite Camp near Sauble Beach and enjoy homecooked meals, a hot sauna and fun camaraderie in their Meadows Retreat Centre. $270 + HST per person. Includes 2 nights shared accommodation, 2 suppers, 2 lunches and 2 breakfasts.
