 11 hikers showed up to walk off their Thanksgiving indulgences. The weather was cool and overcast and the going firm.

Still smiling, even after climbing the Kerncliff Park Side Trail😊

Susan Nash joined 19 seasoned Pathfinders hikers on a sunny, temperate morning with Liz Davies as Hike Leader, for some exercise and fellowship. Thank you Tom Stephens for the pictures below that show waves wiped up by wind over lake Ontario, a clear view of downtown Toronto across the bay, and a calm and inviting trail.

River & Ruins, Mon 6 Oct 2025, 8:45

 The amazing and scary summer weather in October blessed 21 hikers for this riverside romp, led by Sid. We did not see the salmon that were promised, but was the weather too hot and humid for sex? Maybe. But it was cool enough the night before for the grass to have a good coat of dew. 

Ready to charge up our favourite hill

The start of Fall colour, but no salmon

At the bridge, traditional photo spot

 

Joshua's Creek South, Thu 2 Oct 2025, 8:45

Judy P. picked a perfect day for this walk along the creek and the lake. A near-record 21 hikers enjoyed this stroll of about 6.5 km. 

Stopping for a break and to enjoy the view of the lake. 

The lake, the view of which we all admired.... 

 

Jerusalem artichokes were out in abundance. 

 

Balls Falls, Mon 29 Sep, 8:45

Balls Falls is always a treat, but this was special as we were all consciously working up an appetite for the lunch following at The 13th Street Winery. Our leader Jim, knowing the perils of getting between seniors and  food (and drink), kept up the pace and we covered the prescribed 7.0 km in good time. It helped that it was a gorgeous early fall day. Lunch was wonderful. 

The Falls were a trickle and Autumn colour was playing hard to get, but it was still beautiful.

Apparently crows and other birds prefer red wine grapes because they were protected by nets while the white grapes were available for the picking. 

Our group of 20 in the home stretch. 17 stayed for lunch and seemed happy that they did.
