Iroquoia - Felker's Falls (23.2 km) to Jolley Cut (34.1 km) - August 2nd, 2018

It was another warm day as we started a 10.9 km hike through Hamilton.

The kids today included Karen, Ann, Ron, Fran, Sandra, Marleen, Nancy, David, Richard, Rob, and John with Steve as the photographer.  David was very brave to stand under the class practical jokers Marleen and Nancy.

Felker's Falls still had some water flowing over despite the lack of rain.

We kept moving as the day promised to only get hotter.

Richard ensuring everyone made it under the Red Hill Valley Parkway safely.

The trail continues alongside Red Hill Creek within the forest until it crosses an abandoned ski hill.

The Trail did not go up these challenging stairs.  We were saving that for later when we were tired.

The day seemed to be getting very steamy.

A view of East Hamilton down a set of stairs we also did not climb.

Trail maintenance is clearly required in several spots on the trail.

A small patch of shade served as our elevensies stop.

Back on the Rail Trail with Ann continuing her personal clean up of the trail.

Rob and David contemplate the stairs behind them.  Do we really have to go up there?

The view from the top of the stairs with a ship in Burlington Bay.

The final steps up to the Trail end.  The cars can't be too much farther.

One final view of Hamilton and off home we go.
