Hike through Stony Swamp
Matthew and I completed a ~6km hike today through the Stony Swamp Conservation Area. We started at the P5 trail head in Kanata and ended up at Matthew's Aunt's place near Fallowfield. It was cool and calm, ideal for a fall hike!
We saw seven deer on this hike as well as many robins, chipmunks and squirrels. There were quite a few walking and joggers out as well. We stopped for hot-chocolate mid-morning and ended up at our destination at about 1pm. It was a great morning to spend in the bush!
Along with the deer we saw, we also came across several deer scrapes. There must be at least a few big bucks in this area!
Here we are at the Trail Head at about 9am (Matthew is standing on a rock ;-):
And here is a picture showing Matthew on one of the easier sections of trail:
The trees were just starting to turn.
I think we will try this hike again in a few weeks, but from the other direction.
