I am a bit behind in my blogging, Nicola and I did this hike a couple of weeks ago. We decided where to walk after eating our fabulous breakfast and also tentatively booked in to Serenity Ranch for another overnight in a months time.
 |
We parked in a Stoney Creek residential neighbourhood which backed onto the escarpment.
|
 |
Up a steep trail, between the houses, and we could have been miles away from suburbia.
|
 |
We've seen some curious things on the trail but never slippers before.
|
 |
A bit further on, a cap. Nicola dubbed it the "Fashion Week" hike.
|
 |
The trail stuck to the escarpment here
|
 |
sometimes going, steeply down, and then, of course, up again.
|
 |
Occasional pops of fall colour
|
 |
but it really hadn't been cold enough yet for the true brilliance.
|
 |
On to the train tracks a couple of times.
|
 |
Considering our location it was surprisingly peaceful and
|
 |
in contrast to the previous day, uncrowded.
|
 |
The waterfall had just a trickle.

Next article of clothing. It might have been a Leafs shirt. Thrown in frustration?
|
 |
| When we saw the shorts I was concerned we were dealing with a streaker. |
 |
8.6km, part of map 6 and completion of map 7.
|
 |
We found a patio in Stoney Creek and had a lunch of nachos
|
 |
and a drink, feeling we wanted to take advantage of patio dining for as long as we can.
