Part two of our epic 29 km hike last July along the beautiful stretch of the Bruce Trail from 1st Line Granger, through Boyne Valley Provincial Park (episode 14) across the ridges, over the rolling hills, down the country roads, under a big blue sky in the sweltering sun, rambling down to the Pine River country of Kilgore.
The land was in full summer bloom, the flowers were out, the vultures were soaring, and the land was sparking in the hazy heat. The hike took us past the Mulmer Lookout overlooking the expanse of the Boyne Valley, through Walker’s Woods, in memory of Chris Walker, a Bruce Trail pioneer, into the “Enchanted Forest”, and through Rock Hill Park as the sun shone gloriously through the escarpment rock crevasses.
The town of Kilgore turned out to be just a mailbox on a quiet dirt road, then we got into the Pine River section where we explored the Dufferin Light And Power Co. power plant ruins. We had a great surprise near the end of the day, a rare lake (pond) scene on the Bruce Trail, with the beautiful Pine River Fishing Pond.
It was a struggle to finish and we were thankful to have the long days of summer to complete this awesome hike. Next up: “Noisy River”.
