Ski Lion's Head: A Cross-Country Eco-Adventure

Mar 01, 2019

The Bruce Peninsula is truly a magical place. But winter exploration on The Bruce is not for the faint of heart. Between tricky driving conditions, quickly changing weather patterns and ice along the escarpment and shoreline and less-than-reliable cell service, The Bruce is best conquered with a knowledgeable guide during the winter months. That's where the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association's Eco-Adventures come in. From their popular Snowshoe the Grotto eco-adventure to their newest offering Ski Lion's Head, there's an adventure for everyone on The Bruce. To make it even better, profits from the adventures go back to the Biosphere Association who's advocacy and conservation work on the peninsula is invaluable. We tagged along on a recent eco-adventure to give you an inside look at the fun you can have with Graham and the eco-adventures crew. There are eco-adventure offerings for all four-seasons so head over to their website to find a complete list of experiences.
