This blog describes our walk along Ontario's 900 km long Bruce Trail .   We hiked parts of the trail as independent day hikes, other sections as participants in organized End-to-End hikes, and we thru-hiked the Peninsula and Sydenham sections. It was a wonderful experience that changed the course of our lives, by inspiring our love of long-distance hiking.   For those of you interested in hiking the trail, we have included a description and review of the clothes and gear we took with us.   Thank you for reading, and we hope you enjoy!
