Moccasin Trail Park, Toronto, ON

In my desire to innately grasp the ways in which Toronto’s waterways relate to each other, I spent today’s hike in Moccasin Trail Park as well as on a bit of the East Don Trail. It was beautiful! 

The path was paved and only slippery in one small spot on my 2 mile hike - definitely a plus for those with accessibility needs. I did regret not wearing my winter boots, mainly due to the temperature (somewhere around 20F/-6). Thicker socks might have done the trick too. 

One feature of this park is the rainbow tunnel! It’s painted on both sides and all thorough out the inside as well. It was done by Mural Routes, awesome local organization I recommend checking out once this pandemic is over. 

Shortly after the rainbow tunnel, there’s a bridge over the East Don River. I was struck by the intricacy of the tiny ice crystals that had formed around rocks in the water, and by observing areas where the water had frozen versus where it continued to sluice through the surrounding area.

I wandered a bit around a big railroad bridge, and that was about it. Today was a shorter hike, but perfect for a stark winter day like today.

Happy later-than-Monday, friends. We’ve been trapped inside for days, catching up on taxes (UGH) and watching the rain (meh). Also, I’ve been packing up prints, because apparently you guys really liked my silly trout lily, and I’m so deeply thankful for your support and enthusiasm that I got you these flowers. Thank you x a million, friends.❤️🌼🐟 ... #appleblossoms #hiking #tuesdaymood #thankyoufriends #rainyday #ontariohiking #ladysmith #ontarioartist #oakville #latewithmytaxesagain #yup https://www.instagram.com/p/COenKfvBpXi/?igshid=1ocygtvonszuu

Good morning! . Did you know that Sudbury is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes? I just came back from a quick weekend getaway there and had a chance to explore some of its parks. Beautiful place all around. . I came across Bell Park during a sunrise outing and although it was cloudy and cold, the beautiful views here overlooking Ramsey Lake made it worthwhile. . Have you ever been to Sudbury? .

Definitely my favorite season. I can't imagine living somewhere without all these colors. So fortunate and grateful for late autumn walks through the woods with my people. 🍁🍂🍃 (at London, Ontario)

New Year Hike (Toronto)

In an incredibly satisfying “end of year wrap”-style, my first hike of 2021 linked up all of my previous hikes throughout the city. It was also probably my longest hike - about 11 kilometres (7 miles). I met a friend and colleague for today’s hike at Broadview Station. It snowed a bit last night so the city was looking beautiful, and temps were around freezing - not too cold! 

We walked to Chester Hill Lookout, which I was a bit disappointed in - the lookout view is mostly of the DVP and other highways. From there, we walked up to Todmorden Mills Park. 

We explored this area a bit and then continued along Pottery Road. I was intrigued by “Fantasy Farm”. The horses were only screaming horror movie to me. I’d like to come back and find out what a fantasy farm entails in the future - the walks in the area are chained off for now.

One of the underpasses we walked through had animal-themed pillars:

The Lower Don Trail ran through Pottery Road and we took a short detour up this trail to admire the river for a bit. 

The designs used to encourage safe crossing were clever I felt - the middle section of the road has a path that forces a momentary pause in the middle before completing your crossing. The road also has a fun ecological pattern (blue waves) painted in the crossing sections, instead of the usual yellow lines.

After this detour, we followed Bayview down to Evergreen Brickworks. This was the “aha” moment for me, I hadn’t been able to see this trail (on the opposite side of the road as Brickworks) on my previous hikes. The trail was winding...AND it got us there!

The big pond (resevoir? body of water?) at Brickworks was frozen with a thick layer of ice that was beginning to get a bit slushy.

We passed through Evergreen’s South/West parking lot and followed a trail (neither of us knew where this would lead). There was a wide clearing followed by a very icy trail, and we were suddenly in Beaumont Park - another trail to follow!

We followed the Park Reserve Drive trail north through David A. Balfour Park. Here’s a cute hockey player I made the acquaintance of.

We exited David A. Balfour Park just below the Mount Pleasant Cemetery via a staircase a bit north of the Vale of Avoca (I’ll never get sick of over the top landmark names).

This was us after 3 hours of winter hiking!

Four years ago, roughly around noon, I sat with @uncouthrooth in our frozen car, in a grimy Mississauga parking lot, shaking with a cancer diagnosis. Today, roughly around noon, we were hiking a few of our favourite trails, soaking up some elusive sun, and chatting about how much life had changed since. Happy Monday, friends. 💙 ... #getoutside #mondaymood #ontariohikes #vitamind #thyca #thistooshallpass (at Bronte Creek Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ZqBdhBulu/?igshid=1gw7r9bxg5dc0
