From the Pit Rd parking area head north, following the blue blazes of the McIver Side Trail. Follow the blazes until you meet the white blazes of the main Bruce Trail. At this point there is an amazing lookout. You turn right and follow the main trail’s white blazes. This entails a descent of the trail via a steel metal ladder. Exercise extreme caution in wet weather.
Where the main trail meets Park Rd you will meet up with the Boulder Bluffs Side Trail again. Turn right and follow the blue blazes. They will turn right back up the escarpment and return you to your parked car.
This loop trail falls within the Peninsula 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 Peninsula Bruce Trail Club’s website at http://www.pbtc.ca/
