9th Hike - Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we decided to head north to the Nottawasaga Bluffs. We had thought about going south towards Hamilton, but Clarence (smart guy!), didn't want to fight all the crowds. What a great decision! We both agreed that this was the best hike so far.

                

Thanksgiving Day was 22°C, sunny and windy. Absolutely gorgeous weather!!!!
There was an amazing side trail called the Keyhole Side Trail. It took us right into the fissures and crevices...a place where Scruffy didn't want to go (he had to be carried).

                

The piece ended by squeezing through this little hole in the rock.

The dogs were happy to find a little stream along the way.

After getting a little lost (it was hard to find the Bruce Trail markings and we kept taking the Nottawasaga Bluffs Conservation Area trails), we came into the open to find a most spectacular autumn view.

Yup, definitely one of those "take your breath away" moments. Who could help but be thankful to a Great Creator for beauty like this!
From here on the hike followed the bluffs for a while and then headed around a farmer's field. We took an "unimproved" road to get back to the parking lot.

Personally I got quite a giggle out of this laying in the forest, very close to someone's deer stand :)

Till next time, blessings!
