Hike up the Robertson Cliffs overlooking the Goulais River Valley. At the top of the cliffs you can see Goulais Bay in the distance. In the summer the valley is cloaked in various shades of green which in time turns to the multiple colours of fall. Learn about the Algoma Highlands Conservancy, on whose land the trail is on. Some surprises along the way are sure to stimulate your senses. (4+ hrs)

Carole led a hike to the Robertson Cliffs for myself, family and friends and we had a wonderful time! She is the consummate tour guide and offered us interesting insights into the making of the Voyageur Trail and the great work of the Algoma Land Conservancy. I look forward to hiking with her again next year, perhaps in Lake Superior Provincial Park. Thanks Carole! Five star. I recommend her tours highly. Outstanding guide!
