Around Toronto

YYZ-YYZ

With Tom off for the Good Friday holiday and no plans or options for travel, I brought Tom out for a longer walk. As Tom had not been, I brought him to one of my favourite Lake Ontario walks starting at Guild Park in Scarborough and heading west towards the bluffs.

Having made our way down from the ridge, the trail follows the lake

Rocks, built up along the shore, provide a nice vantage

The edge of the Scarborough Bluffs

With the level of erosion on the sandy cliffs, it is clear why the area above is restricted

“The Passage”, a steel sculpture by Marlene Hilton Moore, based on the rib cage of a fish with dates marking the geological history of the bluffs and artist Doris McCarthy, that the trail leading to the shore was named for

Having completed the full trail, we completed our walk back to the trail that had lead us down from Guild Park, completing our 9km walk ready for the rest of the Easter weekend.
