Description
Explore the Bruce/Saugeen Peninsula through a series of loop hikes involving side trails at Lion's Head, Devil's Monument, Hope Bay and the Obese Side Trail at Rural Roots. These four days of hikes will take in magnificent views and fascinating geology and some challenging terrain. Our longest hike at Lion's Head will be 18 km (about 6 hours) and the other days will involve multiple loops with the options to go longer or shorter if desired. A detailed itinerary will be sent out upon registration. All hikes can count towards the Peninsula Side Trails badge and we will also take some time to identify trees, ferns and birds for anyone interested in those badges too!
