Description
We will carpool to the start of the Len Holley Side Trail. We hike the Len Holley Side Trail to the Skinners Woods Side Trail then follow the Skinners Woods Side Trail to the main trail. We then hike west along the escarpment edge to the Bruce’s Caves Access Trail. We follow the Bruce’s Caves Side Trail down to the caves, then continue east to the new Colpoy’s Cavern Side Trail. The Colpoy’s Cavern Side Trail involves climbing around big part way up the escarpment. If you like this sort of thing, it is a of fun, but it is optional. Those who wish to skip it, can wait at the picnic area at Bruce’s Caves where will stop for an early lunch or snack. We return via the Bruce’s Caves Access Trail to the main trail, then take the Curly Harnden Side Trail back to the cars. There are beautiful view from the top of the escarpment overlooking Colpoy’s Bay. Bring a lunch. Map 35
