Iroquoia #2 Lewis Road 11.1 km, to Felker's Falls 23.2 km, Feb 16, 3017

Today we hiked from the Lewis Road Access Trail to Felker's Falls
The weather was sunny and -5 C, perfect for hiking.
Today's hikers; Ron; Anita; Fran; John; Christine; Carol; Ann our leader; 
Mike; Sefan and Case the photog.
 We climb from the parking area on Lewis Road 
to the Bruce Trail midway up the Escarpment.
 Most of today's hike was below the brow of the Escarpment.
 We had to maneuver several  tricky ups and downs, 
icers were a necessity. 




 At lunch break someone spotted a Great Horned Owl


 Steps up the railway embankment where we cross 
New Mountain Road on the railway bridge.

 We descend into the Stoney Creek valley at the Devil's Punch Bowl.

 We cross Stoney Creek again.
 Finally we climb to the top of the Escarpment 
and I get a picture of Hamilton below.


Felker's Falls.
