Iroquoia Km 91.7 to Km 105.5 - 5 April, 2016

Section from the Parking Lot at Mt. Nemo, km 91.7 to the Crawford Lake Side Trail at km 105.5.

Weather was perfect for hiking about -4C, sunny and a couple of cm's of snow on the trail.
SNOW on April 5th ??

 Hikers; Case; Karen, our leader; Christine; Eric; Andy; Stephan and our co-leader Richard.
 We leave the Mt.Nemo Conservation Area parking lot, cross Guelph Line and hike west 
along Colling Road. We turn right on to The Blind Line to Britannian Road where the 
Trail enters an unopened road allowance into the Bronte Creek Valley.

 The Trail crosses the Bronte Creek and we traverse a 100m boardwalk across a swamp.


 We do a steep climb up the north side of the valley and stop for an 'equipment adjustment'

 Lunch break behind the Killbride School

 We hike over a 150m boardwalk and follow the creek bank to Derry Road

 After crossing Twiss Road the Trail passes through rocky outcrops into the 
Crawford Forestry Tract.
 We approach a relatively difficult climb and some of us envision an easier method.
 After crossing Gueph Line the Trail enters the Crawford Lake Conservation Area
 Karen and Richard enjoy the interesting benches and sculptures throughout the area.
Richard, the snake seems to be eyeing you ......

 Richard ... quick,   throw us the car keys !!

On our way to the parking lot we pass more spectacular sculptures.
