Dufferin - Rock Hill BT Car park (29.4 km) to 30th Sideroad (13.3) - July 29th, 2021

Eleven of us showed up for a 16.1 km hike through the Boyne River Valley.

Hikers were braving the rain as we started off with Ken (our photographer), Barbara, Doug, Sandra, Steve, Marleen, Arpi, Annette, Brian and Richard all appropriately attired in rain gear.

The Trail initially passes through from some fields but soon rises up into a forest.

The rain stopped after a few minutes and a quick stop for a clothing adjustment.

The rain hadn't dampened our spirits.

The Trail follows 2nd Line for a few 100 metres before entering the forest again.

We had elevensies at Mulmur Lookout after completing 7.6 km of the hike.

Back on the Trail through some lush fields.

The Trail crosses 1st Line and enters Boyne Valley Provincial Park.

We found some raspberry bushes along the way.

Climbing up Murphy's Pinnacle and the resulting view.

Brian crossing the Boyne River.

The last 2 km were road walking but with some interesting sights along the way.

Arpi, having completed the Dufferin Section, gets the respect of the hikers.

Caledon/Dufferin - Dunby Road (68.0 km) to 30th Sideroad (13.3 km) - July 22nd, 2021

The hike today started at Dunby Rd at the north end of Caledon and followed the Main Trail through Mon Cliffs Provincial park north to 30th Sideroad for a 16.6 km hike. This was our first hike with cars at each end of the hike since the start of Covid.

There were eleven of us on a beautiful cool summer day perfect for hiking.  Hikers were, Palma, Leslee, Su, Barbara, Steve, Marleen, Sandra, Doug (photographer), Arpi, Annette and Ken the photographer.

We started with a short road walk but soon left the road to climb the escarpment on a technically difficult stretch.

Having reached the top, the ladies take a short break to admire the view.

The descent was even more challenging.

Back on the road again until we entered Mono Cliffs P.P.

A quick water break.

Back on the Trail.

The Trail passes several ponds.

A field of thistles in bloom.

A hollowed out tree.

Elevensies by a lookout over the Park.

A quick side trip down a crevice.

After exiting the park we had a bit of road walking passing some very nice properties along the way.

Back into the forest where the Trail alternates between passing through fields and forests for the remainder of the hike.
