If only every hiking day had weather like this. This was the perfect day for getting back into the groove -- and avoiding hills! Michael led a group of 16 who made full use of this wide path to chat and socialize. But soon we learned we had to share it with cyclists.... No problem, we still managed to walk, chat, and admire the lake and the sky.
With the able assistance of Michael, who delivered a few timely safety reminders, Sid led a group of 15 from the castle to the harbour and back. We had perfect weather for welcoming 2 brand-new hikers and one returning after a long absence.
We may have missed the parade, but we had a pleasant urban walk all the same.
It was the first hike of the 2026/27 season and we lucked out with blue skies and temperatures in the mid 20's. Ten hikers joined Ann on this 14 km urban hike along the Hamilton waterfront.
Thanks to Ivan, we were able to do a group selfie There was lots to see in Cootes Paradise Learning about some Hamilton history And the best part....eating ice cream while watching the Labour Day parade!
It was the calm after the storm that brought about 50 mm of rain to Oakville. The trails were in remarkably good shape, but humidity levels were high. Seventeen hikers came out for this last of the summer hikes and no one complained about the extra hill we did:-)
