Ridges to Explore Door County’s Counterpart – Bruce Peninsula

As part of a yearlong celebration of its 75th anniversary, The Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor is offering a unique travel opportunity to experience Door County’s geologic counterpart – the Bruce Peninsula of Ontario, Canada. The eight-day tour is scheduled for June 11 – 18, 2012.

Like the Door Peninsula, the Bruce Peninsula is a relatively small area – only about 60 miles long. And like Door County, this strip of land attracts attention for its beaches, forested trails and limestone caves.

The Bruce Peninsula tour itinerary will showcase many of the area’s natural features including woodlands, migrating birdlife, water features and incredible geology. Through boat trips and guided walks and talks, trip participants will experience first-hand the natural treasures found on the Canadian Niagara Escarpment.

Joining the group is Ridges Naturalist Karen Newbern, Geologist Dr. Roger Kuhns and Naturalist and tour planner Paul Regnier.

The Bruce Peninsula Tour is open to members of The Ridges. The cost is $1,999 per person based on double occupancy. Single supplement is available for $450. The fee includes coach transportation to and from Sturgeon Bay, seven nights lodging, most meals, tour guides, park fees and more. Checks should be made payable to Door County Nature & Travel LLC. Register and pay the $450 deposit by February 15 to receive a $50 per person discount.
