Description
HIKERS MUST REGISTER ON-LINE FOR THIS HIKE, NO morning sign-ins on this series as hikers will meet at trailhead.
About 18.5 km with almost 810 m elevation gain. Park your car in the small Bruce Trail Parking Lot [BTPL] on the Pretty River Road [44.428118, -80.276849]. If this small BTPL is filled, use the large Ontario Parks Lower Pretty River lot [44.430983, -80.275474]. Do not park along Pretty River Road as it is a strictly enforced no parking zone by the Town of Blue Mtns. The hike starts in the small BTPL. We will proceed north on the white blazed trail until we come to John Haigh Side Trail. Proceeding west past the highest point on the Bruce Trail, we will continue until we reach the intersection of the 2nd line and 6th Sideroad. We will then retrace our steps to the BTPL. After a break, we will proceed east along the white blazed trail until we reach the Blue Mtns Clearview Townline and head south to continue past Osprey-The Blue Mountains Townline. We will follow the white blazed trail up until we reach the blue side trail - Standing Rock & Caves Side Trail. Turning west, we will hike through the Singhampton Caves until it rejoins the white blazed trail again. We then turn east (left) and follow the white blazed trail which will bring us back to the parking lot. Bring lots of snacks, lunch and water. Contact the hike leader if registration is closed.
