The Bruce Trail is a challenging 890 kms hiking trail from the Niagara River to the tip of Tobermory, Ontario. The trail follows the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, and is one of the thirteen UNESCO World Biosphere Reserves in Canada.
Bruce's "end to end" attempt is called #BruceHikeBruce. The first third was done in Sept 2018, and the remainder will be completed in 2019. Throughout the adventure Bruce documented much of the trials, joys and tribuations on video to share. Now you can watch the first 12 days from the comfort of your favourite chair ... ENJOY!
