Another cold, bright morning, ideal for a strenuous hike of about 13 kms. From the parking lot on Pretty River Road, we headed into the provincial park which was crisscrossed by several snowmobile and mountain biking routes. We covered the Ross McConnell Side Trail and the Pretty River Side Trail along with several pieces of the main trail. When we arrived at the edge of the escarpment we found many informal lookouts and stopped at one of them for lunch, enjoying a view out towards the Collingwood Airport and Nottawa.
We are noticing a more diverse range of people on our hikes this year, likely because hiking is one of the few activities permitted during this time of restrictions due to COVID. Today we encountered a shirtless, shoeless walker and one with noise cancelling earphones (to eliminate the sound of the babbling brook?).
