 It turned out to be a great day for hiking, sunny, warn with a 

cool breeze off Georgian Bay, no bugs !

 Looks like a possible place for bobcats to hide.

 Looking back to Hope Bay where we started.

 Pretty yellow flowers ?

 Hope Bay looking out to Georgian Bay

 Love those trilliums 

 A bit of wind damage

 Trilliums starting to turn pink.

 Interesting indentations carved out when the lake was much higher.

 Some of us a much more agile than others ....

 We spot our first Lady Slipper

 Plenty of pretty columbine along the Trail

 The trek down the Escarpment to the beach starts with a set of steep stairs.

 Some tricky steep trail

 and more stairs.

 finally the beach ...

 we pick a lunch spot near a flowering choke cherry.

After a pleasant rest we head for the cars.
