Description

We will be hiking clockwise along the Rural Rocks side trail through a wonderland of enormous rocks left from a time when this area was the shoreline of an ancient glacier lake. We will also explore the Obese side trail which offers challenging terrain . There will be rugged hiking along with scrambling around and over numerous boulders. Please wear proper hiking boots/shoes and a walking stick may be helpful. Let me know if you are interested in lunching in Wiarton afterwards and I can sort reservations. BTC Map #35.
