Winter Hiking is different than Fall Hiking. Please make sure you come prepared with proper clothing + footwear + crampon style icers. It may not be necessary to use icers on this hike but they should be in your bag and available at any time.
The hike starts in the Speyside Woods heading north over rocky undulating terrain to the Limehouse Conservation area. The trail cuts through the Escarpment cliffs in an area know as "Hole in the Wall" There are ladders to climb down the Escarpment rock through fissures and crevices providing a glimpse into the area's geological past. There are also several stiles to climb over. The trail also passes the remains of limestone kilns which produced the lime used as a binder in mortar and was used in the building of Toronto.
