Our Walk Along The Bruce Trail (BTC)

Dufferin Hi-Land End-to-End Hike Since our Last Hike  The next portion of the Bruce Trail for us was the Dufferin Hi-Land Section, which means that over the last 18 hikes we have trekked around 340 kilometres since leaving Fort Erie on the Niagara Recreation Trail, and about 300 km kilometres since Queenston Heights.   While this sounds impressive, the length of the Bruce Trail helps put it into perspective, given that we still have more than 550 km to go before arriving in Tobermory.   As such, our excitement is somewhat tempered.     The Dufferin Hi-Land Section extends from Mono Centre at the southern end to the town of Lavender in the north.   This club lays claim to being the midpoint of the Bruce Trail, and at 56 kilometres in length, it is the second shortest portion of the BTC network.   Dufferin Hi-Land End-to-End Hike on the Bruce Trail   As we did on the Caledon Hills section of the Bruce Trail, we are tackling the Dufferin Hi-Lands...

After crossing the concession road, we were immediately plunged back i...
