Lake Ontario Trek Rides a 60-Mile Day and Hikes Chimney Bluffs


It's safe to say that everyone on the Lake Ontario Trek was happy to have completed Day 15, their longest day.  They biked 60 miles!  Plus, they had their greatest gain and loss of elevation.  Many of the Trekkers said these were the steepest hills they've ever climbed -- what an accomplishment!  They capped their Saturday evening off with nachos and s'mores around the campfire.



The next morning, they had a relaxed morning, with Trekker Kiran cooking everyone eggs to order -- over easy, scrambled, and even "eggs in a basket," a fried egg in a bagel, with gourmet toppings like pesto and chopped green onions. They then took a short ride to Chimney Bluffs State Park, where they had lunch under a giant maple tree and hiked up to admire the beautiful views. At the end of the day, they came back to camp for a delicious dinner of Shepherd's Pie.
