I was taken back by all big crevasses in this Forest.

Rattlesnake Point by Milton, Ontario.

 part of the trail was also on  The Bruce Trail..

Amazing my hubby walked all of the Bruce Trail in the past two years and this in all kinds of weather…Congratulatons to him and his buddies. What a accomplishment!

As whe had lunch we had a visit by this Garter Snake

 

What a perfect place for a Sunday hike with my hubby.I was able to take my camera along and WOW I have to say my hubby truly has to slow his walking pace down with me.  Just like to see things from a different view. Close up mostly I have to admit. See my next post coming soon…

It reminded me a bit of some places back home. I think I remember somewhere in the “D’Hölli” ? Some of you back home perhaps you can help me out on this one. But I remember someplace like this in one of the Forest by Möhlin, Switzerland.

 

img_7657Nun darf ich doch sagen ich war in einem “Mähriwald”! Rattlesnake-Point bei Milton, Ontario ist so bezaubernd mit all den grossen Felsen die gespalten sind und offene  Höhlen zeigen. Teil der Strecke war “The Bruce Trail”  den mein Mann währent den letzten zwei Jahren bewandert hat von Anfangs bis Ende in jedem Wetter. Congratulatons an Ihn und seinen Kumpels. Was für eine Leistung!

Was für ein perfekter Ort für einen Sonntags Wanderung mit meinem hubby.  Meine Kamera kommt natürlich mit dabei.  so musste mein Mann halt auch etwas langsamer laufen…und geduld mit mir haben.

  Es erinnerte mich ein wenig an einen Wald bei uns zu Hause. Ich denke, dass ist  irgendwo in der “D’Hölli”? Einige von euch zu Hause ,vielleicht können Ihr mir dabei helfen wo das war. Aber ich erinnere mich an so ein Ort in einem der Wald nur nicht sicher wo…

 

Thanksgiving Hike AT Boyne Valley Provincial Park

2015-01-12 Thanksgiving Monday hike Bruce Trail 077 Boyne Valley Provincial Park is part of the Bruce Trail.

Where I only have gone on two hikes with my Hubby. He and his friends have almost completed all of the Bruce Trail that goes all the way from Niagara, Ontario to Tobermory2015-01-12 Thanksgiving Monday hike Bruce Trail 151 a small community located at the northern tip of the Bruce Peninsula in the municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula. It is 300 km northwest of Toronto.

So he has only two or three hikes that he needs to still walk and with it being so nice and warm on this past Thanksgiving Monday. The opportunity to go and hike the 15 km in this Boyne Valley was just perfect. Off I went on a perfect day together with my Hubby.

Just had to sit on top of one of these hay bales
Just had to sit on top of one of these hay bales with a little help from my Hubby as they are a bit high….and yes I am not a spring chicken anymore..lol

Hockley Valley Nature Reserve Hike

IMG_3680It has been way to long since I had gone on a long hike like this one. I think it dates back to my school years when we hiked over a mountain, I think it was the Gemmi Pass (2,322 m [7,618 ft) to Leukerbad in Switzerland.IMG_3688

So Last weekend was just perfect for a hike at Hockley Valley Nature Reserve.

We spent a wonderful 6 hours together  just my husband and I. No worries just us and the beauty of the forest coming alive again. New growth of leaves, flower and animals. The water in the creeks so pristine clear just like it would be coming from a glacier still very cold.

Yes I have to admit my body is a bit soar after the hike as I really had not gone an any hikes in a long time and 14km, well I have to say I was happy I could still truck along like this and this in less then 6 hours.

Viel zu lange here seit ich eine lange Wanderung wie diese wanderte. Wenn ich so nachdenke, geht es bis auf meine Schulzeit zurück. Ich glaube, es war der Gemmipass 2.322 m  nach Leukerbad in der Schweiz.

Am vergangenen Wochenende war das Wetter einfach perfekt für eine Wanderung. Mein Mann und ich verbrachten eine wunderschöne Zeit zusammen ohne  Sorgen, nur uns und die Schönheit des Waldes. Neues Wachstum von Blättern, Blüten und Tieren. Das Wasser in den Bächen so makellos klar als käme es aus einem Gletscher  und immer noch sehr kalt.

Ja, ich muss zugeben, dass mein Muskeln ein bisschen darunter leiden…oh ja nach der 14km Wanderung, doch war ich froh das ich dass doch noch laufen kann und unter 6 Stunden.

Relaxing after the hike at Hockley Valley Resort for a well deserved glass of wine and a Kale Salad.
