S1.Ep13 "Mono Cliffs" Hiking The Bruce Trail End To End : A Journey Across Ontario

End to End : Hiking the Bruce Trail, A Journey Across Ontario
Season 1, Episode 13 : “Mono Cliffs”
We begin the last day of our 4 day Bruce Trail stretch at Dunby Road for a cool morning road walk followed by a nice escarpment jumble section adjacent to 3rd line. Slowly but surely made our way to Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, which also ended the Caledon Section and began the journey through the Dufferin Highlands.
Mono Cliffs is a beautiful park, and it was a beautiful bluebird day as we walked through it. It’s the first stretch of the Bruce Trail with a few ponds and lakes and it was a new and refreshing environment. Our familiar friends the turkey vultures soared majestically overhead.
There was a gorgeous view from the cliff top of the valley and the “South Outlier”. Like the Milton Outlier from many miles ago, the landscape conjures images of a great flood when the glaciers and meltwater intensely carved out the landscape.
Hiking from there up to McCarstons lake, and further into what was a magical deep green forest that was erupting in song from the many birds in the treetops. It’s not often you walk through such an exuberant symphony.
Up one more country road and we set up our next hike – into the Boyne Valley.
