The Elgin Trail runs 41 km from Port Stanley on Lake Erie to Southdel Bourne, following Kettle Creek and Dodds Creek, along some country roads for several kilometres, and then goes over the 401 and crosses a forest near the Green Lane landfill site. The trail is well marked with white blazes, but is not well-used, so it is overgrown at times.
This new series highlights the best hikes around the world, trails that we would someday like to hike on and enjoy. There are an assortment of caches along the Elgin trail commemorating these other trails.
The Tararecua Canyon in the Copper Canyon region of Mexico is a rugged 70-km off-trail canyon hike that takes 5 to 6 days to negotiate. This is not a gentle trail, and is best hiked in October or November, after the rainy season. The rugged nature of this largely trailless terrain entails time that will be spent rock-hopping, bushwhacking, scrambling, wading and tip-toeing across cliff faces. There are fantastic swimming holes the entire way and several natural hot springs, plus a natural waterslide.
Opa Norshley helped me with the hides and the listing. Hope you like these.
The cache is in a tree just off the trail.
