Description
We will carpool to Gleason Lake Road and from there hike the Len Holley and Skinner’s Woods Side Trails to the main trail. We then walk along the escarpment edge, enjoying the beautiful views over Colpoy’s Bay until we reach Bruce’s Caves Access Trail. We then climb down to the caves to explore the caves and the new Colpoy’s Cavern Side Trail at the base of the escarpment before climbing back up the escarpment and retracing our steps to the Curly Harden Side Trail. This trail will take us back to our starting point. Bring a lunch or snack, sufficient water, sunscreen and bug spray. Good footwear is needed and hiking poles are helpful.
