Rattlesnake Point, Mon 28 Nov 2022, 8:45

 Michael led us on an 8.8 km version of this route -- lots of rocks to scramble over as well as clear paths that would have suited a baby stroller, ie. lots of variety to go with the great views.

We voted for this?!

 Helgy led us through the heavy fog without a single misstep. The group of 17 actually look pretty happy.

 Ian did a fine job motivating his band of 16 up hill and down dale. Most managed without icers, but these soft-snow conditions will not last!

The  woods are beautiful, not so dark or deep...

Back up to the escarpment

Down to the Ian Reid Side Trail

Only six more hills to go!

Rattlesnake Point - Crawford Lake, Mon 21 Nov 2022, 7:45

First day of the season for icers and it's always a struggle to get them  on.

Clearview - Avonhead, Thu 17 Nov 2022, 8:45

 A new trail for many hikers, it's flat and short and hard to get really lost as the smokestack at the Ford plant is almost always in view!

Diane, Carol, Ann H, Helen, June, Sue, Judy, Ann M, Trudy and Liz -- all wondering why Jim is holding up that tree😀

It looked at first as if Helgy's luck ordering up good weather had run out, but wait! there was blue sky after all. The golf-course gods were smiling on her -- and the other 11 hikers who turned out for this scenic stroll. 

 

Niagara Glen, Mon 14 Nov 2022, 7:45

Twelve hikers joined Brian for this strenuous, but beautiful hike.

There was a light dusting of snow on the stairs descending into the gorge making them somewhat treacherous.

There's always one

Barb's Bench Memorial Hike/Sixteen Mile Creek, Thu 10 Nov 2022

Once again blessed with perfect weather, Pathfinders turned out in good numbers (27? 29??) for this annual event.  Colin shared some memories of Nancy Debreceni, who died last month. Nancy would have loved this hike.

The descent to Fourth Line. It needs work...

The last climb -- down!

Beauty down by the Creek

 A happy band of 18 enjoyed another day of great weather and late fall foliage. A perfect day to welcome new hiker Lily.

 An excellent turnout of 24 made for a lot of cordial leaf-scuffling. We ignored the fog, enjoyed the mild temps, and appreciated the many upgrades to the boardwalks by the Credit Valley Conservation Association.

Where did they get all that new lumber??
