Description

We will carpool to the start of this loop hike.  We begin on the Len Holley Side Trail, then follow the snowmobile trail to Skinner’s Woods Side Trail.  When we reach the escarpment we will walk along the top to the Curly Harnden Side Trail, then return to our cars via the side trail.  With the leaves gone, we will enjoy some nice views over Georgian Bay and the islands.  It may be wet underfoot, or if the morning is particularly cold, there could be some ice.  Bring along your icers and poles, and a snack.  Approximately 2 1/2 hours hiking time plus travel time to and from the hike start.
