  Blue Mountains Section - Devil's Glen (29.5 km) to Osprey - Clearview Townline (42.4 km) - August 20, 2026. Summer is waning and we are entering prime hiking season as temperatures moderate, bugs begin to relent, and foliage is fully mature...Hiking With Friends continued making a slightly further trek by car to enjoy a 14 km walk in the Blue Mountains Section this past week, which featured all manner of landscape and a relatively (compared to last week) smooth and level part of the Bruce Trail. Early morning departures mean early dawn views as we make our way northward...16 of us arrive at the start in good time and assemble for instructions from our Hike Coordinator and of course, a group photo...there's myself, Donna, Frank C, Andrea, Barbara, Josie, Nancy, Catherine C, Annette, Renu, Marleen, Andrew, Lesley (H.C), Doug, Grace, and Frank L...we are all looking forward to a great day on the Bruce Trail...let's see if that came true!  The road may be closed but the trail...
