Iroquoia # 6 - Sydenham Lookout (60 km) to Smokey Hollow (72.4 km) - Oct 3rd, 2019

It was a gray, drizzly start. Temperature was 14C and several people thought that gloves might have been a good idea.


Ron B, Ron J, Brian, Nancy, Marleen, Sandra, Annette, Fran, and Arpi


Entering RBG Rock Chapel Sanctuary from Romar Dr

Past the hydro lines

The trail goes along the Escarpment edge with views of Hamilton, Cootes Paradise and the Burlington Skyway Bridge

Past the sugar shack

Borer's Falls                                                                                       Borer's Creek


Up and down in Borer's Falls CA

Coming out of Borer's Falls CA onto Valley Rd

Entering the RBG Berry Tract

Fashionable and Functional!

The tunnel under Highway 6 provides a great canvas for local artists!

Climbing the concrete steps after the tunnel

Ruins of an old farmstead

No, no...those are hackberries, not grapes!

Elevensies at 68 km

Snake Rd...only 3.5 left

More uphill and downhill

Grindstone Creek. The creek bank is exposed Queenston Shale (the same stuff as at the Cheltenham Badlands)

Wonder how they got the wheel here? and what was it used for?
Walking along Grindstone Creek....lots of roots and slippery steps

Brian and Sandra checking out the Whirlpool Sandstone overhang

The last set of stairs

Great Falls

Treats at Dyment's Market...butter tarts may have been involved😃
