Probably the best place in all of the GTA for Fall colour viewing. As the season progresses, the full show of colours makes its way further South and we should be visiting during the absolute peak.
Rattlesnake Point is beautiful any time but during Fall, it's spectacular. The trail weaves along the Niagara Escarpment and takes us high up on cliffs that give some incredible panoramic views over the surrounding area. We'll take a trail that brings us into the Nassagaweya Canyon, bringing us through dense forest and into wide open viewpoints before winding along the Bruce Trail.
This will be an easy 8.5km hike and, being just under an hour from the city, a relatively easy trip to experience some breathtaking nature.
