Iroquoia Km 78.8 to Km 91.7 - 17 March, 2016

Section from where the Fisher Access Trail meets the Bruce Trail at km 78.8 to the 
Mt. Nemo Parking Lot.
The weather was excellent for hiking, sunny, a slight wind and a temperature of +6C.

Today,s hikers; Case, Andy, Christine, Fiona, Eric, Mike, John N. (our leader), Anita, Annette, Steve and Stefan. 
We parked the cars on Springer Crescent and followed the Fisher Access Trail to the 
Bruce Trail and headed east. 
A 'natural bridge' across an unexpected lake. 
We still encounter a fair bit of mud along the trail.
The Trail skirts the north edge of Fisher's Pond. 

The Trail wanders through beautiful woodland until we reach Guelph Line. 


The Trail emerges onto #1 Sideroad which we follow for 1.7 km and turned north on 
Walkers Line. Where Walkers Line meets #2 Sideroad we turn west. 
We follow a road allowance into the Mt. Nemo Conservation Area and work our way 
to the top of the escarpment. 


A view from the top looking east.
Hey, what are you guys looking at? 
I can't see anything ..... is it a bobcat? 
No, silly, its a goose.
Thanks to Andy's picture I can see it now. 
We relax at the Observation platform to enjoy another view. 
We can see the high rises of Mississauga and Toronto in the distance. 

We follow a loop back to the Mt. Nemo car park. 

The rain has held off until we get in the cars and head back to Oakville.
Thanks to Andy for some of his pictures.
