Description
First of a series of 3 hikes for the Rim2Rim badge
After leaving cars at the Gibraltar Sideroad 6 parking lot, we will follow the John Haigh Side Trail past the highest point on the Bruce Trail until it joins the white blazed trail. We will continue to follow the white blazed trail south across the Pretty River Road, across 30/31 Sideroad Nottawasaga and then up the hill to the Standing Rock and Caves Side Trail leading to the Singhampton Caves in the Nottawasaga Lookout Nature Reserve. After a scramble through the caves and a climb back up to the white blazed trail, we will loop back around and down on the white blazed trail. Bring lots of snacks, lunch and water.
