From 8 and cloudy to sunny and back to cloudy, and cold and rainy towards the end of the hike.....but a Tim's stop in Orangeville on the way home seemed to revive everyone.

Introducing our newest hiker, Bella. 

Bella often joins hikers out on the trail and if they're really nice, they'll sometimes give her a ride home!
