Sat, Jan 13, 2018 · 10:00 AM – Sun, Jan 14 · Bruce Peninsula National Park

Ok everyone With the snow finally here it's time to rid our selves of our cabin fever. We'll be starting our venture at the Cyprus Lake campground. From there we'll make our way to the head of trails. then fallow the Horse Lake trail to the Bruce trail. Once on the Bruce trail we then make our way to our destination " Stomhaven " Along the way we'll be going in and out of the treeline as well as up and down in some slightly challenging areas. After stopping at scenic out looks and plenty of post card worthy pictures taken. We should arrive at Stormhaven around 1:30- 2:00 pm. After arriving clearing off the tent pads can commence. Once the tent pads are snow free it's time to put our home away from home up. After finishing that its time to explore or kick back and relax. When the sun go's down hope for a clear sky to do some chilly star gazing. When it gets too late or too cold head for bead. Come morning wake up with the crisp air all around and make some warm food. Then it's time to break camp and head back to Cyprus Lake campground. After loading the cars full of our gear and goodbyes said. It's time to make for our urbanite dwellings.
