Bruce Trail Fall Hikes

I love to be out on the trails all year but autumn is especially beautiful. Air is cool and fresh. The exercise feels extra rewarding. And the colours are spectacular! The forests are mainly golden this season. Some falls we get more red or orange or copper. Under a maple forest canopy right now feels like walking in yellow light, whether sun is shining or not. It is truly magical!

I have been systematically following the Bruce Trail south through southern Ontario. Last weekend marked a major milestone: crossing Hwy.9. Yippee!!! This highway passes from Arthur to Orangeville to Newmarket, and for me, sort of divides rural from urban Ontario. Of course, urban continues to sprawl northward. Just north of Hwy.9 on the trail and Niagara Escarpment is an amazing lookout, Humber Heights, which provides a view down the Humber River Valley all the way to the Toronto skyline. Awesome!

Here are some pics along the journey. Enjoy! Hope to see you on the trails!
