S2.Ep9 “Inglis Falls” Hiking The Bruce Trail End to End – Best Falls on the Trail!

Get back on trail with the ninth episode of Season Two : End to End Hiking The Bruce Trail, A Journey Across Ontario.
"Inglis Falls"

My sister lives right off the trail in Owen Sound and we had spent the night at her place so we could get an early start on the day and pound out 7 km or so before stopping for breakfast back. The day started with some amazing crevasses and giant chunks of the escarpment cleaved off and standing as erratics in the foggy morning mist.
We hiked some great countryside approaching Owen Sound and made it up the observation tower for a view of the city and the Sound. There was challenging jumbled rock and shale hiking from there – some tough technical hiking in this stretch - and we definitely earned our breakfast.
We picked up a couple more folks to hike with to Inglis Falls – my parents – both in their eighties and still hiking the escarpment. Our pace slowed a bit but it was amazing to hike with family – including my sister Donna and her partner Greg on this beautiful stretch – which led to the best waterfall so far on the trail – the magnificent Inglis Falls.
We said goodbye to my parents and sister and Greg, Steve and I continued for more Bruce Trail awesomeness as we got into “West Rocks” and “Springmount Forest” for some sweet ridge walking overlooking the forested and green Owen Sound below.
Our last stop included another great waterfall : Jones Falls, as we entered the Pottawatomi Conservation Area up to km 106 where we ended the day’s hike at Derby-Sarawak Townline.
Crossing Highway 21, we saw a sign for “Tobermory” and the Tobermory Ferry the Chi-Cheemaun which travels from Tobermory to Manitoulin Island. It was another milestone reached as we were officially past Owen Sound and about to begin the incredible, unforgettable, challenging, awe inspiring hike up the Bruce Peninsula to the finish line.
