Dufferin Hi-Land km 15.2 to km 29.4 - 11 December, 2015

We hiked this section from North to South, starting at the BTC Parking Lot on 1st Line East, Mulmur Twp. to The intersection of Hwy 89 and Hurontario Street.

The weather was 10-13C, sunny in the morning clouding over later. Verywindy.

Todays hikers; Richard; Steve; Karen, our leader; Christine all having hiked this section previously
 joined Case in his bid to complete this Dufferin Section.

The Trail winds through old orchards and meadows and hardwood forests.

We chose not to take the Enchanted Forest sidetrail ........

In the Oliver Creek Valley we crossed several bridges and boardwalks.

The Trail follows the rim of the East Ravine coming out at the South East Lookout 

looking out over the Boyne Valley.

The Trail turns south on to the 2nd Line East and past the 8 Sideroad where the 2nd Line

 becomes a road allowance rising through old orchards to another view of the Boyne Valley.

The Trail follows the top of the valley with beautiful views to our left. We had to hang on 

to our hats because of a very stiff wind blowing out of the southwest.

The Trail heads down into the valley ... again ....

We reach the valley bottom .... have a rest ....

and head up the other side .... again ....

and down again ...... maybe that's why they call this the Dufferin Hi-Lands ?

Hikers who had too much time on their hands .....

Murphy's Pinnacle is on a short side trail to the lookout with a fantastic panaramic view.

We descend into the broad marsh land of the Boyne River. Here there are four bridges and 

60 m of boardwalk to keep the trail dry.

We hike out of the Boyne Valley Provincial Park on the the Centre Rd, road allowance 

towards Hwy #86.

Highway #89 and the car. The hike was completed in about four hours. We collected 

the other car, met in Orangeville at Tim's and then headed for home.
