Get back on trail with the sixteenth episode of Season Two : End to End Hiking The Bruce Trail, A Journey Across Ontario:
“Cape Chin”
We begin this amazing hike after an overnight at Lion’s Head Beach Campground, and a delicious breakfast at “Rachel’s Restaurant” to fuel the day. The morning hike started with some sweet road walking (crushing miles) all right along the Georgian Bay shoreline – as the waves broke on the rock plateau and filled the air with it’s music.
We ducked into the “Forty Hills” and began our incredible journey up the coastline with the sun breaking out for us in fine form - on what was supposed to be a cloudy rainy day. Most of the day was spent in Smokey Head White Bluff Provincial Nature Reserve, and I won’t try to describe it here – other than it was stunning and epic as you’ll see in the video.
A special treat was the new trail section in Cape Chin, acquired by the Bruce Trail Conservancy in 2021, taking the trail right up along the edge of the Cape, where an old cottage / mansion sits in it’s first stages of decay, the house of the former owner of the land that was acquired. It is a remarkable place with an epic view and insane rock outcrop ledge overlooking Georgian Bay, with glimpses of Dyer’s Bay further up the coast.
We wrapped up our hike just before dark. The Bruce Peninsula is certainly proving to be a “grand finale” like no other on this great adventure along the Bruce Trail.
