Smokey Hollow / Waterdown, Monday Jan. 6, 2017. The 8:15 Hike (Pics by Colin and Case)

 Anita's active amblers anxiously hitting the trail. The temp was just below 0, good hiking weather although we did not see the sun.

Crossing our first stile.

Anita, our able Leader and Colin the Hike Director check the hiking rules to see if those hikers that crawled under the stile rather than over should be penalized. The others anxiously await the verdict.

 We descend a long and rather treacherous decline down to the river valley. Thank goodness for icers.

 We hike upstream along Grindstone Creek

Grindstone Falls at Smokey Hollow.

 Welcome to ..... Mike's Monday Morning Mud-fest

 We did a fair bit of 'off track' hiking.

 Despite the weather and mud the Grindstone Creek was spectacular

"Hey Mike, I don't remember this hill last time we hiked here?"

 Mike's merry mudders take a break.

 Grindstone Falls at last ....

Hence the name ... Smokey Valley

Rattlesnake Point Leech Porter, January 16, 2017 8:15 Hike (Pics by Case)

 John Giesbrecht led his happy horde of Halton hikers. 19 in all,

 to Rattlesnake Point and the Leech Porter Side Trail 

 Obviously icers were mandatory.

 Rattlesnake Point has some fantastic outlooks, 

unfortunately it was a bit hazy.

 There was still snow on the Nassagaweya Canyon floor.

 We traversed our fair share of rough terrain

No rattle snakes were spotted but we must have frightened 

a young one because he left his rattle behind.
