Get back on trail with the second episode of Season Two : End to End Hiking The Bruce Trail, A Journey Across Ontario.
Hiking "Old Baldy" in the Beaver Valley.Show more

Episode two starts with a beautiful sunrise over Old Baldy, the iconic escarpment cliff face that towers above the Beaver Valley, near the town of Kimberley Ontario. We make our way up the treacherous ice and the steep cliffs and the valley opens up behind us.
The clouds roll in and the wind picks up as we summit and explore the Mac Kirk side trail taking us to the cliff and our first real view of the magnificent Beaver Valley - which we will be hiking in for days - down one side and up the other to complete this section.
We are two episodes into the second half of the trail – Season Two. Season One ep. 1-19 covers the first half of the Bruce Trail from Niagara to the Blue Mountains.
Learning from our last hike, which ended as we fumbled our way to our car by moonlight, we took on a shorter day this day, hiking through the snow drifts, slush and late winter flooding.
Beautiful scenes abound and there were many fast flowing creeks and bulging waterfalls surging over the escarpment rocks and ice, and into the valley below.
We made it to North St. in Eugenia – looking forward to our next hike in the series through the incredible Eugenia Falls and Cuckoo Valley. Eugenia Falls is closed for the winter as it is very dangerous with ice and snow and the steep cliffs – so we would skip this section and return in the Spring. So with Episode 3, in the magnificent Eugenia Falls, the trilliums will be out and the sun shining bright.
