It was cloudy day with rain forecast for the afternoon when we started our 14.4 km hike. Hikers were Mike, Arpi, Eric , Brian, Nancy, Marleen, Stefan and Steve the photographer. Eric joined us for the last day of hiking as this was Stefan's last hike to complete his End to End.
After a short climb up the escarpment, the trail begins winding through crevices.
The Trail passes a small pond.
Soon we climbed to the top of the escarpment and crossed several fields.
The Trail crosses Indian Acres Rd.
The Trail heads back down the escarpment again for a ways and then back up top to the fields.
Unfortunately, a light rain began earlier than expected.
The Trail follows an abandoned rail bed and then through a series of streets in North Owen Sound.
The rain stopped long enough for lunch and then we were back on the trail straight up to the top of the escarpment.
A glimpse of Jones Falls as we neared the end of the hike.
Unfortunately the rain began to come down heavily as we finished the hike with only two hikers willing to pose for the Bridge picture.
Stefan as he completes his E2E with his own unique way of combating the rain. Congratulations Stefan!
Stefan completes the traditional pole Gauntlet with the protection of the awning of the Visitor Centre, to mark his completion of the E2E. A few glasses of champagne later and we were on the road to home after a great 3 days of hiking.
