Hike #10 - Bruce trail Iroquoia section 70.8-86.8

total hiked: 167.9
total time: 32:00


An evening hike from where I left off in Waterdown (starting with some apple fritters of course), to Mt. Nemo. Its a very flat section, and I had a pretty brisk pace.



There is probably the worst road crossing of the entire Bruce trail however over Dundas. This is a 4 lane highway, very busy, and the east goes down a hill so you cannot see far.

On the other side I made another friend. His name is Trailcat



The last section up to the Mt. Nemo access is all road, about 5km along 1 side rd, and Walker. This part is scary as you are walking with zero shoulder, and cars are flying over blind hills at about 80kmh. If there was any part of the entire trail to skip so far, this would be it. Absolutely would not recommend to a group or family to walk these roads, outside of maybe 7am on a Sunday.

Anyway, it left me feeling like a need to get away from roads this weekend, and I know exactly where to go.
