S2.Ep8 “On The Road To Owen Sound” Hiking The Bruce Trail End to End – Big Blue Sky Country

Get back on trail with the eighth episode of Season Two : End to End Hiking The Bruce Trail, A Journey Across Ontario.
"On The Road To Owen Sound"

We were lucky once again to have blue sky to walk under as we trekked from Bayview Escarpment Nature Reserve right to the border of Owen Sound.
There was a lot of road walking in this section - all on quiet peaceful country roads with the giant sky and big views all along the way. It was an amazing rural countryside walk, and like all Bruce Trail hikes, it had it’s own personality and impressions to make as we walked on through.
We ducked into Sydenham Forest East along the way and into the woods again near the Pines Side trail – the weather made everything fine and this was a cool section along short cliffs shimmering in the sunlight.
The last section was a real beauty – the trail through the KOA campground was still closed (closed in winter) so we walked up Sideroad 15 and into the back end for a gorgeous walk in the late day sun through an awesome forest and creek behind the campground.
A great day with good friends! And we made it to Owen Sound! Quite a milestone, and the first “big city” on the trail since Hamilton. As it turns out the trail takes a wide berth around Owen Sound so we never got too close to the city – but that’s a story for next episode – where we hiked to the incomparable Inglis Falls.

Map Distance : 27.8 km / Start : km 55.2 St. Vincent-Sydenham Townline / End : km 83 Sideroad 15
