Iroquoia Heights - Scenic Drive. Mon 10 Nov 2025, 8:45

 Like the posties who deliver in all kinds of weather, Pathfinders get out there despite a record early snowfall the day before. Hamilton reported 11 cm of snow, but it was the best kind: light and fluffy while the roads were clear. 


The trails themselves were buried in fresh snow but the BTC markers were always visible.

 There wasn't much flow in the Lower Princess Falls, but it will probably increase once the snow melts. 

 Michael led a band of 15 through a veritable wonderland of beauty, with lots of leaves still on the trees due to the relatively early date for the snowfall.

Caledon: 5 Sideroad to Hockley Valley, Mon Nov 10 2025, 7:45


 The trails were transformed into a winter scene with the first snow fall of the season.

A blanket of white on the ground, crisp cold air and the loveliness of the landscape.  What more could you ask for on a Monday morning hike!

Andrea is getting really good at selfies

The first of many stiles 

Nothing prettier than the trees after a snowfall

A hike wouldn't be complete without an apres hike snack, this time at Timmies.

Roberts and Irwin Quarry Side Trails, Thurs Nov 6 2025, 8:15


Another beautiful day for a hike on a Pathfinder favourite trail. Seven Pathfinders joined Hubert on this sometime strenuous, sometime 'walk in the woods' hike. 


A blog wouldn't be complete without a bridge picture


Who's the stray?
