Description

We will be looping 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 glacial lake. We will also explore the Obese Side Trail which offers challenging terrain. There will be rugged walking along with scrambling around and over rocks. Please wear proper hiking boots/shoes and a stick will be helpful. Let me know if you are interested in lunching in Wiarton afterwards and I can sort reservations. BTC Map # 35.
