On the way there was much to see. It was about a 2 hour drive to get there so we knew we didn't want to do much stopping en route as we wished to spend as much time as possible when we got there. In the truck were my older son, my two granddaughters and I. We wanted to take the girls on a bit of an adventure, and do something to wear off some energy. It was a bit of a grey day so I was hoping all would go well.
We passed wind turbines,
Amazing sculptures in wood,
and a heritage building being rebuilt after a fire.
After a short stop to get cheese, bread and fruit, we arrive at our starting Point!
After a 1/2 hour walk on a trail through the forest, we see Georgian Bay!
A walk North along the limestone rock beach. In the distance you can see "Bear's Rump island!
The formation of the limestone cliffs and rocks are interesting. Makes climbing fun!
A cliff stops travelers who are unwilling to climb or swim. Not us though!Over we go.
We scale to the top and have a wondrous view to the left,
And also back were we came from.
Not many people continue from here unless they are hiking. Many stay back by the beach to swim. But I know a secret! A place that is private and magical for swimming!
You can see the towering cliffs in the background. The Bruce Hiking Trail runs along the top of it. Trees will send out tenacious roots into any little crevice they can find and cling to the side of the limestone.
Not only trees but "periwinkle" coloured wild flowers as well. This was over the edge of a huge rock, growing in a tiny crevice.
Finally we come around the bend and under a huge boulder and...
But wait! You thought I forgot didn't you! The "What is it?" picture. I will show you the rest of it!
It was an amazing limestone cave roof! I know, a bit unfair, not something one could really guess too readily! Unless, you to have been to Halfway Log Dump, Georgian Bay, Lake Huron.
