 Caledon Section -  11.8 km hike  Innes Lake Rd to 7th Line 12 hardy hikers ventured out on this 11.8 km hike along the main trail from Innes Lake Rd to 7th Line in the Caledon Section. Joining the hike were SteveR, Donna, Ivan, Faryde, Renu, Doug, Grace, Barbara, Lesley, Christine, Annette (HC) and Diane. Welcome to Christine from Calgary a friend of Steve & Lesley. Lots of hills this week as the trail takes us through the Glen Haffy conservation area. Steep climbs and a thick carpet of leaves kept us focussed on the trail underfoot.  The weather forecast called for possible showers but none materialized and it turned out to be a glorious fall day   The trees have dropped their leaves and the forest floor was a mosaic of colours. Some sillyness along the way as we come across a moose!   We couldn't help posing with the wildlife! Thanks for joining us Christine. Donna and Renu completed their Caledon Section on this hike.  Congratulations to b...

Caledon Side Trail Glen Haffy     This week was a Blue Trail Explorer hike with Laura, Donna, Barbara (HC), Annette and Nancy. We explored the Glen Haffy side trail which is 4.8 km and follows Glen Haffy road and then through Humber Valley.  The plan was to follow Glen Haffy side trail and take main BT through the Glen Haffy conservation area to complete a loop of about 11.4km.   Elevenses were at the Viewpoint on the main trail.  The fall colours are fading fast. The weather was to be cloudy with a hi of 21oC and possibility of a shower later in the afternoon.  But the sun shone all day, no showers materialized and the layers of clothing came off!  A glorious day in the forest. Fun along the Glen Haffy Trail Change of plan as we decided to omit the busy road walk at Airport road and hwy 9. Rather than follow the main trail back to the cars we adventured into the Glen Haffy Conservation area and explored the conservation trails. Glen Haffy Co...

  Caledon Hills Section - 4th Line EHS (54.9 km) to End of Section/Mono Centre (72.4 km) - October 22, 2026. Hiking With Friends returned to the Caledon Hills (by choice!) this week to take on a long trek of close to 19 kms (with add on's) and a whole bunch of climbing (650 meters worth!) that ended up being a glorious 6 hours spent on the Bruce Trail (ya, tell my feet that)... The fall season has seen amazing weather in these parts and it's in evidence again this morning as we gather in the parking lot of Mono Centre for our pregame chat... It hasn't been the smoothest of starts to our day, with missed alarms and nagging injuries precluding two signed up hikers to making the bell, and another whose bearings were off (and me, who forgot his sunglasses), but here we are, finally ready to set sail...myself, Donna, Steve R, Frank C, Faryde, Annette, Diane, Lesley (H.C), Renu, Barbara, Andrea, and Ivan are keen to get our feet moving... We occasionally need to remind ourselves ...
