The Rural Voice, 1993-09, Page 57Winter's a fun time too in The Bruce The summer is fading quickly as the 1993 International Plowing Match approaches but the good times in the outdoors will just carry on. The rugged hills of the Bruce Peninsula area provide a spectacular setting for the fiery colours of autumn. Whether viewed from the road or more intimately from the hiking trails in the county, the brilliant landscape provides hours of pleasure for tourists in late September and early October. Later, when the moist winds sweep in off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, they'll drop plenty of snow on the hills of Bruce, making it one of the favourite areas in the province for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. A network of trails throughout Grey -Bruce and the Bruce Peninsula offers plenty of variety for snowmobilers. From Thornbury and Meaford west to Southampton and north to Tobermory are 150 kilometres of trails, maintained by six large groomers. There are also plenty of places to stay for visitors.
