It was another sunny day when we started our second day of hiking which was shorter at 15.2 km but the first 5 km were very challenging through the Palisades section of the Trail. Hikers were Mike, Nancy, Ann, Arpi, Steve, Marleen, Brian, Stefan and Boyd the photographer.
The view from Centennial Tower over Owen Sound.
The Trail quickly enters the Palisades with numerous crevices and very rocky footing.
Ann does her part to support the escarpment as we pass through.
Brian inspects the potential crevices for exploring.
Brian points to the hole we crawled out of.
Footing is challenging through this portion.
Climbing into a new crevice.
Maybe there is a way out?
Stefan is the last to squeeze out of the hole.
The Devil's Chimney with climbing anchors.
The Devil's Playground.
The Trail then enters a cedar forest with a much easier footing.
Our first glimpse of the Sydenham River.
We finally reached Inglis falls where we had our lunch by the river above the falls.

The Trail becomes much easier for the last 10 km of the hike winding through forests and fields.
We encountered some friendly pigs along the way.
Another snack close to the end of the hike.
A final descent.
