Description
It’s the end of the fall colors, but it’s still lovely to walk in the forest, watching the last leaves swirl down in the wind and listening to the sound of footsteps on the thick carpet of fallen leaves.
This is the 7th hike of an End-to-End series covering the entire Iroquoia Bruce Trail section. The full section stretches over 120 kilometers from Grimsby to Milton. I am using Map Edition 29 to plan the hikes, and so please note that kilometer markings may not be fully up to date, and actual hiking distances may vary slightly.
