Bruce Trail: The Blue Mountains
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
The Blue Mountains section of the Bruce Trail follows the Niagara Escarpment through mature forest with rocky outcrops and fantastic cliff-top lookouts overlooking Georgian Bay. This stretch combines peaceful woodland with some of the most expansive views on the Bruce Trail as it winds along the escarpment above Blue Mountain Resort. It’s a beautiful segment every season, especially outside the winter months when the ski lifts are inactive.
