We started this hike parked on the side of a road directly across the 401 from Rattlesnake Point and Kelso.
 |
| It was sunny and cool |
|
 |
| The first 6 km were along the edge of the escarpment with views to the south |
 |
| and east, to the Toronto skyline. |
 |
| We walked across a bridge that spanned a section cut out of the escarpment by a quarry. I wonder how they got permission to do that. |
 |
| The views were lovely, especially while the weather co-operated, but the walking was difficult. Rocky, loose stones, roots, having to look carefully as we placed our feet and twisting and turning, hard on the hips. |
 |
| We sat and snacked beside a swollen stream |
 |
| and then , as the path moved away from the escarpment edge, into swampy areas, we again were amazed at |
 |
| the fungi. |
We took about 3 hrs to do the 9km, started feeling much looser and more relaxed than yesterday but the going was harder and we ended sore again. We vowed to do a better job next year, booking and completing more than the 24km we did this year.
We drove into the outskirts of Milton for a quick lunch and then returned to our respective homes.
