Description

Skinner's Bluff is one of the quintessential jewels of the Bruce Trail.  Truly iconic.  Views of Georgian Bay marvelous.  Join us and soak it all in.  We will journey along the top of the escarpment to the end of the Sydenham Section at Wiarton.  There might even be some macabre stuff on Coffin Ridge.  Be prepared!  Please dress in layers for the weather and pack your icers just in case some ice remains.  Poles recommended.  Bring a lunch, a snack, 2L of water and a smile.  Bring a change of shoes and a garbage bag for your dirty boots at the end of the hike.  We will be car pooling.  Gonna be fun.
