Description
As we lead into the Dufferin Hi-Land summer solstice events, an invitation for experienced Forest Bathers to drink in the long, pastoral views of high fields (5 km) and then the cozy trail through forest with its interesting biological and geological features, including a natural stone bridge (a 1.1 km loop). We will observe quiet during the walk itself so that all can benefit from the unique experiences on both parts of this Forest Bathing walk. Note: we will meet on the 30th Side Road and walk south on the main trail and return to our cars on this out & back part of the day. We will then drive 7 km north from the first part of our hike to the Bruce Trail parking lot on the 1st Line East, departing from there for our second walk of the day - a loop of 1.1 km. Please bring water & lunch.
