We began the hike under beautiful conditions with a smaller but hardy group of hikers as some of the previous days crew opted for golf or an early return to Oakville.
The hike started with a trail diversion that resulted in considerable road walking.
Passing a well kept sheep farm.
After 4 km of road walking we entered the KOA grounds and took a well deserved break.
We soon entered the woods and passed a small stream.
The lighting was fantastic as we entered a red pine forest.
One for Ron!
An amazing patch of Queen Anne's lace I believe.
After a bit more road walking we stopped for elevensies and then we reentered the forest and climbed partially up the escarpment.
Large crevices had to be explored by a least a portion of the group.
A dead end I believe.
Can he fit through there?
The trail follows along the edge of numerous farms .
After a last km of road walking, the end is in site with an Ice Cream Shop no less for our weary hikers!
One last climb up Centennial Tower for a panoramic view of Owen Sound and then into the cars and home again.
