Drive west on East Linton Rd W until the road curves to the right. On the left is the East Linton Access Trail, at 323410 East Linton Rd W, with limited parking.
Taking the East Linton Access Trail (which is just to the right of the more visible ATV trailhead) you will reach the main Bruce Trail. Turn left or south and very shortly you will be at the intersection with the Frank Holley Side Trail. Turn right onto the side trail and follow the blue blazes. The trail will descend the escarpment and rejoin the main trail. Turn right and follow the white blazes of the main trail. The trail will take you through a series of crevices. On the rock overhand you will see a number of fossils. After 1 km the main trail will come back to the East Linton Access Trail. Turn left and return to your parked car.
This loop trail falls within the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail. For more information on other loop and side trails and the portion of the main Bruce Trail in this section please visit the Sydenham Bruce Trail Club’s website at http://www.sydenhambrucetrail.ca/
