More Hiking at Sleeping Giant

On my way back to the camp site, I found a more secluded parking lot for another recommended trail - to Middlebrun Bay. I didn't feel like I had done the kind of hiking I'd hoped to, so I decided to take a chance that Morris wouldn't be ransacked by marauding backpackers and the bears were elsewhere, maybe their eating porridge.

This walk was a bit more of a trail rather than an old road. The bay was pretty, lot of red sand with a few streams flowing into the bay. One unusual aspect of Middlebrun bay are these sticky gum cedars. I got my hand stuck to one. Fortunately some other hikers came a long and took a picture and then helped me get free. Here's the picture.

Although the sandy beach would have been great for swimming (on a warmer day), the most interesting looking part was this large flat rocky area strewn with boulders. See picture below:

For someone with their hand stuck to a tree you look pretty casual. good job.

You're trip looks like one I want to be on...
