Bruce Trail: Map 3

Pincha aquí para la versión en castellano 

1st Stretch:

On Saturday, November 25, we walked the first section of map 3. This time only Federica and Malaika joined me. Since there was no second car, nor enough quorum to complete the journey from both ends in opposite directions, we changed the strategy and walked together from Short Hills Provincial Park, in the parking lot at the end of Wiley Road (kilometer 38.3 on the map), to Brock University, at the point indicated on the map with kilometer 26.8 (30th edition).

It was a light, pleasant walk, mostly through forests, until we reached Moodie Lake, where the landscape changed, and became more urban, without implying that we were walking through streets. The day was sunny, and the temperature was pleasantly above 4 degrees Celsius all the time. Despite the sun and good weather, the trail was quite muddy in some sections.

When we finished the tour at Brock University, we had to return to the starting point where we had left the car. We walked back mainly along the road, which allowed us to shorten the distance quite a bit. This first stretch of Map 3 is quite winding. I want to finish this report by noting that we saw a white-tailed deer in the Short Hills Provincial Park area, a couple of blue jays before reaching Moodie Lake, and a great blue heron when we were walking back to the car along Wiley Road.
