We positioned our cars and started off from Mono Centre.  It was a perfect day for hiking. Cool breezes and plenty of sunshine. We began our hike ascending a hill and entering Mono Cliffs Provincial  Park.  This is one of the most striking and popular sections of the Dufferin Hi-Land section of the Bruce  The area is noted  for its old growth cedars and a variety of ferns.  It passes along McCarston Lake, which is a kettle lake formed by the glacial melt some 13,000 years ago.

After exiting the park we started a 3 km road walk along 1st Line EHS.


We entered a bush and hiked though private fields walking along the fence lines and passing many stiles.
