The place we were staying was right next to, but somewhat elevated from, Georgian Bay. Here are the steps down to the water.

The Bruce trail runs from Tobermory to Niagara. This directional sign is technically helpful, but as the total distance is over 890 km, it is perhaps somewhat misleading.

Devil's Monument. This is a 44' "flowerpot" rock formation.

The trail gets really close to the edge of the escarpment in places.

Hiking day 3: Jackson's Cove Lookout. There was a lot of poison ivy here, but we appear to have made it through unscathed.

A little bit of rock scrambling was involved on this trail.
