Back to Caledon Hills! I've routed this section so that I have about 20 km of road to hike, and another hike that will take me into the next section of Dufferin Hi-lands, so this will be my last Caledon Hills hike for awhile.
We start off from where I parked the day before, but head south. There's about 1.5 of pure road, heading uphill, to start off. It's a big of a brutal warm-up but we don't need icers until we hit the trailhead.
From there, it gets interesting. I am super glad I invested the funds in the microspikes because they made all the difference. The trail is icy and there are hills and more hills. We actually skirt a golf course for a portion, and then climb up to the top of a ski hill.
It's gorgeous once we get past the groomed lawn and hill.
Things are starting to be green again.
This hike is bittersweet and I'm glad we moved slow, as it's the last shared hiked we've planned. We had a lot of laughs over the icy hills and I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. I'll head back to the Iroquoia section and he'll go on to hike another section well north of where I'll be. Back to texting. Back to solo hikes.
