Season 1, Episode One : “And So It Begins”
Please consider subscribing it really helps independent artists and film makers.
In this first episode the long and beautiful journey begins. The first steps are taken at Queenston Heights the Southern Terminus of the Bruce Trail not far from Niagara Falls which itself breaks over the Niagara Escarpment, the rocky ridge that the entire length of the Bruce Trail is built on. A cliff that transforms into rolling hills and cliffs again as it travels up and across Ontario all the way to the tip of the Niagara Peninsula, where it descends into Lake Huron, 900 km or 550 miles from the start.
Episode One covers the first 90 km, through the Niagara Section of the Bruce Trail to Cline Mountain Road in Grimsby. Hiked in early Spring 2021 over 3 ½ days, the snow had mostly melted and the rivers and creeks were flowing well – with beautiful waterfalls in fine form along the way.
Travel across the Niagara Peninsula through Thorold, St.Catherines, Jordan, Lincoln, and Grimsby, with scenes from Woodend Conservation Area, the Welland Canal of 1887, Short Hills Provincial Park, Rockway, Louth, and Ball’s Falls Conservation Areas, Twenty Mile Creek, Cave Springs, Mountainview Conservation Area, Forty Mile Creek, Beamer Memorial Conservation Area, Grimsby Mountain, and Grimsby Point.
Season One covers the first 450 km of the Bruce Trail from Niagara to Collingwood and is 19 Episodes – airing weekly, every Tuesday from Nov.9th 2021 to March 15th 2022 on YouTube, Rumble, CloutHub, BitChute and Minds.
