Our Northern Bruce Peninsula Adventure

To continue our adventure we drove 4 hours north of Toronto to the Northern Bruce Peninsula.  Along the way the city life lent way to the wonderful Ontario countryside
Bales of Hay
Our accomodation was to be Little Cove camping grounds which provided a rustic outdoorsy feeling that didn't leave us city folk in need of anything.

Each cabin was cosily outfitted with a comfy bed and minimal furniture and outside a firepit and park benches. These amenities proved essential for our campfire bar-b-que...

Spot the one getting beaten at cards?!?
After a restful night we were re-energized and ready to explore the area named by Unesco a World Biosphere

A hop skip and a jump from our cabins was the Cyprus Lake Trail which gave us beautiful views of the Georgian Bay coastline and nature with a scary surprise along the way....
Yup..Rattlesnake on trail
Despite our encounters with nature, we arrived (safely) to our first of many breath-taking scenes along the Northern Bruce Peninsula



Further along, we stumbled upon the inconspicuous Grottos. We had to Mission Impossible our way down to the Grotto but it was worth it...
