GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

This hike will follow the main Bruce Trail along the escarpment from Felker's Falls to the Devil’s Punchbowl and back. Felker's Falls is a jewel of a waterfall, very tall while the Punchbowl is a very wide, bowl shaped waterfall, also very high. We may be able to walk up the trail beside the creek leading to the Devil’s Punchbowl. If it is cold enough there could be a huge snow cone at the base. Bring water, a snack, poles if using and icers.
