A Bruce Trail Trek


Every Expedition begins with preparation. Hiking the Bruce Trail means one either arranges for the return trip or does the return journey afoot. We opted to return by bike so that meant checking out the bike and pumping up the tires. Then there's the pack, camera, binos, lunch, water bottle, rain clothes, and boots.

After the drive are the logistics of finding safe drop-off locations for the bikes and parking spot for the car. Finally we got underway at Decew Falls. The care exercised in restoring the mill is quite evident.






















The falls are largely hidden by the trees but one can certainly hear them.



















One of the many joys of a walk in the Fall Woods are sightings such as this fruiting Jack-In-The-Pulpit.



















The yellows of the goldenrod contrast with violet asters under scudding clouds.
