Thirteen hikers braved the cold for a 16.7 km hike with a pose in front of the Cairn: Eric, Isaac, Marleen, Ron J., Ron B., Michael, Arpi, Brian, Annette, Sandra, Ken, Catherine, and Steve the photographer.
Ken, Arpi, and Brian wait for the others' pre-hike bio-break with Brock Monument in the background.
Off we go though Queenston Heights Park.

Everyone checked it out but nobody knows what it is.
The Trail descends the Escarpment though a series of challenging switchbacks.

Back on the Trail
At km 7 the Trail has been re-routed on the old Fireman's Side Trail which adds about 1.5 km to the hike.
The re-routed Trail passes some vineyards.
The re-route crosses the railroad tracks via a new bridge.

Lunch was later today given the long hike.
Off we go again.
