19th Hike - Ummmm, Skip this one!


So today I hiked the piece from Innis Lake Road and Finnerty Sideroad to Airport Road and Escarpment Sideroad. If you are not dedicated to hiking the whole Bruce Trail, I highly recommend skipping the Airport Road part.

We started out pleasantly enough. There is a new trail piece that you can go on instead of on the road from the intersection of Innis Lake Rd. and Finnerty Sideroad. It's not on the map, so I didn't see it at first.



Poor Scruffy got caught trying to get back through the fence
After this small piece, we were on the road, and really, it wasn't too bad. Just a bit muddy, but I think they had just graded this piece.
A very small waterfall, hidden in the trees.




An intriguing root system.
And here is where it became a not so enjoyable hike. Once we were on Airport Road, we met up with a lot of traffic, especially a lot of trucks. This is not so great for hiking.

A new sidetrail.

If you look very carefully, you can see the Toronto skyline. Just remember, it is an iphone :) 
 I guess it is inevitable, but I was pretty disgusted by the garbage.

 I was very glad to see this sign, and I know at least the next piece won't have all the large trucks!


I'm stumped. I can't figure out what bird this feather is from. If anyone knows, please leave a comment!
 I turned back and retraced my steps to return to the car.
