Description

If you dare, grab this chance to view a Slough from a protected safe space atop the rock-solid escarpment. Luckily for intrepid Bruce Trail hikers, the Slough's despondency can never reach our vantage point on high since the drifting, dispirited demons dissipate horizontally from their downcast depths and are greedily and completely consumed by the Slough's resident, ravenous Sylvan beings.
