SECTION SPOTLIGHT: DUFFERIN HI‑LAND
The Ribbon 200 rolls into one of the most rugged and diverse stretches of the entire Bruce Trail — the Dufferin Hi‑Land.
Think:
🌲 57 km of main trail
🌄 Deep valleys, limestone crevasses, and big escarpment climbs
🌾 High‑ridge farmland views at 1650 ft
Let’s break it down.
For this section of the race, you’ll wind your way from Lavender all the way to Mono Centre, moving through some of the most dramatic terrain on the entire Ribbon route.
Here’s what’s waiting for you:
The Mulmur hills, where the trail opens into high farmland with panoramic views that hit you right in the soul
The Pine River valley is a rugged descent and climb that tests your legs and rewards you with beautiful views.
The Boyne Valley, where you’ll cross the river on a sweeping bridge and climb into rolling hardwood forest
The crevice caves and cliff‑top lookouts of Mono Cliffs — a mix of boardwalks and rock corridors, where you will enter the start of the Caledon Hills.
This section is technical, hilly, exposed, forested, rocky, and absolutely unforgettable. The Dufferin Hi‑Land is where runners settle into the heart of the Ribbon 200.
