Another trip to a conservation area with a waterfall.
Last week we took a drive to Halton Hills. We had to make a reservation and we were quite surprised at how many cars were in the parking lot for a Wednesday afternoon. The hike started with a steep climb up a rugged path but this was the most difficult part of the hike. After that the paths were wide and relatively smooth.
It didn’t take too long before we heard the sound of rushing water.
As the sound got louder the we noticed that the water moved quickly and before too long we found ourselves at the top of Hilton Falls. This waterfall is 10 metres high and at the base are the ruins of a 19th century sawmill.
The conservation area also has great picnic sites right by the falls and when COVID is over the fire pit will probably be open to the public again.
After our lunch we headed back on the path that we came on but there was a fork in the road and we headed toward the reservoir.
All in all we had a wonderful day. On the way home we took a side road instead of the highway and were impressed with the beautiful countryside so close to the city.

What a great day out; looks like the initial climb was worth it 👏 Can’t believe there is still ice there as well 😃

Thanks Jez. It was so warm that day and all the snow and ice was gone except on that shaded part of the falls.

Fabulous photos. What a beautiful part of our world. The frozen (I think it’s frozen) waterfall next to the running waterfall is really interesting.

You’re right about the frozen falls. I guess the nights are still cold enough to keep it from thawing but our daytime temperatures are unusually high so I imagine that it won’t be there for long.

I love your waterfalls photos. I can tell which one is always in the shade. 😀

Pretty good theory as to why it’s still frozen. This week there weren’t any waterfalls on our hike but we did walk along a creek that flows into Lake Ontario.
