Caledon - Chingacousy Rd (2.7 km) to Willoughby Rd. (16.0 km) - Nov. 7th, 2019

Sandra, Catherine, and Steve were the only hikers on this cold snowy November morning.

The storm seemed to have brought down a few trees.

The blazes were hard to see but the path was still clear.

Looking out over the Forks of the Credit Valley with Caledon Ski Club in the distance.  Maybe an early start for their season.

Down in the valley.

and our Bridge picture.

We begin our ascent of the Devil's Pulpit.

The final ascent.

The view was worth the climb!

At this point my battery went into reserve mode and only one last photo as we reached the cars!  Congratulations to Sandra who completed the Caledon Section with this hike.!

Toronto - 27th Sideroad (32.2 km) to Winston Churchill (42.8 km) - October 24th, 2019

12 of us began the 10.6 km hike on a cool but dry morning.  Hikers included, Annette, Boyd, Michael, Marleen, Brian, Nancy, Eric, Sandra, Catherine, Steve, Madge, and Jason a guest hiker and photographer.

Off we went at a reasonably slow pace initially because the trail is rocky through this area and with the leaves on the ground and rain the night before, footing was tricky.

Our bridge picture.  Nancy seems to see something.

Water was low in the creek despite the rain.

Trail maintenance crews have been active.

After crossing the creek again we start back up the escarpment.

We find some logs in the sun for our elevensies.

Off we go again

After descending the escarpment we cross a marshy/grassy area.


The trail passes a small pond with a swan.

One final bridge and the cars are waiting to return us home.

Dufferin - Mono Centre (0.0 km) to Highway # 89 (15.2 km) - Oct. 17th, 2019

Sandra, Ron J. Brian, Fran and Steve braved the cold wet weather for this 15.2 km hike.  Some of us were more appropriately dressed than others.

The leaves had begun to fall but there was still lots of color.

We climbed down into the crevice despite the cold rain that was blowing in our faces.

A pause by McCarston's Lake to admire the colors.

Back on the Trail

Elevensies after a long road walk into the wind.

Crossing some fields with full wind!

One last picture and my camera got to cold and decided it would stop for today.  Luckily we weren't that far from the end of the hike and the warmth of the cars.
