Lady Slippers On The Bruce Trail

The escarpment winds its way down the Bruce Peninsula, the famous Bruce Trail offers hikers incredible views and nature that the Biosphere provides. Tobermory is the beginning of the Bruce Trail and travels 773 km following the Niagara Escarpment. The North Bruce Peninsula has the most spectacular Hiking on the Bruce Trail. The Bruce Peninsula Hiking Trail opened in 1967, and is Canada’s longest hiking trail. The 150 km ’s of trail in the Bruce Peninsula are considered the best in Southern Ontario, and offer hiking for the beginners and veterans. The hiking trails on the Bruce Peninsula are clearly marked, many lead to incredible lookouts. The smell of the wildflowers fill the air and the towering trees  allow many bird species great nesting grounds. The Bruce Trail Club publishes an annual Day Hike Guide (Hiking The Bruce Peninsula) which is great to have when navigating around the Bruce Peninsula Trail system. Lake Francis Cottages is located at the base of the beautiful Bruce Peninsula. Many hikers, hiking the Bruce Trail stay at one of the waterfront cottages at Lake Francis Cottages. Each day they make their way hiking as far as they can get  by chosing a particular trail. By dinner time after putting in a full day of breathtaking views and taking an abundance of  pictures they are ready to sit by a camp fire and go over the next days agenda. Tobermory, Sauble Beach, Georgian Bay, Lake  Huron and the surrounding area is definately a piece of  Heaven. This year make it an Ontario Vacation or a  Long Weekend away but what ever you do.   Life is to short, not to witness the beauty that lies here in Grey Bruce Ontario.
