Rock Hill Side Trails - Dufferin Section - September 24, 2020

Eleven of us met at the Trailhead including, Sandra, Nancy, Ron B., Annette, Marleen, David, Arpi, Fran (our photographer), Doug, Steve and Ken.


We started from the Mulmur Hills car park and headed North on the Main Trail to do the Rock Hill Park and David Hahn Side Trails.


The Trail follows along a series of crevices.

The David Hahn Side Trail is a short loop.

Crossing a crevice.

Descending the escarpment.

After crossing back through the car park we headed south on the Main trail until we reached the Enchanted Forest Side Trail.
A bridge crossing on one of the many creeks in the area.
A short stop on the trail to make sure we are all there.

We turned west on the Oliver Creek Side Trail.

Another brief stop for a head count.

Half way along the Oliver Creek ST we turned south on 2nd Line ECL Trail.

A bit of road walking on 2nd Line.

We soon reached the Boyne Creek Side trail which is a short loop back to the Main trail.

Spectacular views over the valley with the sumac in full colour.


A short hike to the Mulmur Lookout  and Elevensies.




We retraced our steps north on the Main trail

Back down the 2nd Line ST and rejoined the Oliver Creek ST.

Crossing Oliver Creek,

and back up the other side of the valley with people beginning to question how many more hills we are going to face.

The last Side Trail of the hike!

Some of the hikers were crawling like this guy by the end but we all completed the 14 km hike!
