33rd Hike - Grange Sideroad to almost the Badlands

March 19, 2017
This time around, Clarence decided to stay home and sleep, so it was just Scruffy and I. We started at the intersection of the Grange Sideroad and Creditview Road. As we were driving in from Mississauga Road, we found this sign:

I've been trying to find out exactly what this is, and this is the only bit of information I could find:
"The epicentre of western Caledon is a cluster of horse farms called The Grange, home to many of the largest estates, as well as the Caledon Riding Club and its affiliate, the Eglinton and Caledon Hunt (a sign reminds drivers to “slow down now—horses, hounds and people crossing”). Residents of The Grange protested a proposal to pave the area’s roads, because pavement is hard on horses’ hooves and would detract from the rural feel of the place. So the gravel stayed. The Grange is a short drive from the exclusive Devil’s Pulpit and Devil’s Paintbrush golf courses (built by Chris Haney of Trivial Pursuit fame), the Caledon Ski Club and the Caledon Mountain Trout Club...."

As you walk a small ways down this road, there is no doubt that there are many large estates here with some amazing equestrian areas.

It was a beautiful spring day, though not as warm as our last hike that we took in February in Niagara Falls. The snow was mostly melted, but there was still enough of the white stuff to remind you that you were still in winter.

As you walked down the Grange Sideroad, you were treated to a beautiful view from the escarpment.
