Hike 3: May 23, 2015 15km from Short Hills Provincial Park to Balls Falls
Our day started with a nip in the air but with bright sunshine promising to bring a warm afternoon which meant layering our clothes appropriately. Hour by hour and km by km the layers came off. Our hike was shorter this time - just 15 km - from the Short Hills where we left off last time to Ball's Falls. In the end we were thankful for the shortened distance as the terrain was hillier and rockier than previous hikes making our walk slower. Careful attention to where we were stepping was a must as we walked over loose rocks and roots. This part of the trail was more beautiful than the last two and we are now surrounded and canopied by green. Along the way we walked out of the wooded trail on to a winery.. of course we stopped for a tasting and to use the loo!
