Niagara Section - Queenston Heights (0.0 km) to Woodend C.A. (15.2 km) - October 20, 2022. Our Hiking with Friends group was back on the Bruce Trail this past week and we ended up in the Niagara section after our original planned hike in the Caledon Hills area was scuttled by an ominous forecast of wet snow (who has winter tires on this early?), and we elected to chose the (relatively) warmer climes down south...our back up plan took us 15.2 km from the Southern Cairn at Queenston Heights to the parking lot for the Woodend Conservation Area on Taylor Road. Probably one of the cooler aerial shots that reveals our walk on this day (even managed to capture Niagara Falls in the top left)...this 5 hour hike involved a decent 390 meters of climbing on a somewhat "muddy in spots" but not overly technical trail... Our courageous group assembles at the famous southern cairn marking the start (or finish, depending on your North/South directional preference) of the Bruce Trail...there...
