On Saturday, I went with a fellow hiker to the Niagara Gorge. I know this is beginning to sound like a broker record but I love hiking down through there. It is a tough hike, listed on our schedule as 'strenuous'. You have to watch every step but time goes by so fast down there because of the beauty of the scenery and the fact that if you are not careful, you could get seriously hurt. Earlier this spring a guy fell into the fast waters and drowned, and just this past week a police office chased a guy down into the Gorge - the guy fell to his death and the police office fell and broke his leg and had to be airlifted to hospital.

On Sunday, I joined 20 other hiking club members to walk the 'Up the Hill' hike. It starts at the bottom of the Niagara Escarpment, climbs straight up, does a big loop through the forests along the Bruce Trail, then heads back down the escarpment back to the start.
