Minus 14 C temperatures were not cool enough to daunt 8 Coureurs de Bois hikers.
T.B.A
We started from the parking area near the unleashed dog park on Washington Crescent. A trail along a partially frozen creek brought us to the Old Glendon Park ski trail.
Ice, hard packed snow and frozen bare ground kept us careful as we headed west. Chickadees found us near some home made bird feeders. Huge green water bottles had been put together to repell squirrels while keeping the birdies fed!
Further along the trail we saw the beaver dam . Behind it was a frozen pond that otters had run and scooted across.
Snowshoe hare and squirrel tracks crisscrossed among the trees in the Bellingham Bush near the tree stand. We stopped for a brief snack and returned by the same trail.
4.5 km in total.
Thanks to Dave A. for sweeping and to Mara K. for being our photographer.
