FORKS OF THE CREDIT PRE-HIKE

I picked Ann up from Islington Subway for our exploratory hike around the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park. We wanted to assess the suitability for a potential Seniors Bus Hike in July. We walked to view the Cataract Falls which turned out to be a steep path to climb. The viewing platform was closed for repairs. After seeing the falls, which I found somewhat disappointing plus, graffiti
 everywhere,  we returned to follow the Credit River downstream. We took a side trail to bring us back to the car park. It turned out to be a challenge physically. It was steep with steps and a hand rope  for the first part and then a long climb to the top of the hill. Next, we encountered a style to clamber over and eventually found another side trail that led us directly to the car park. Ann and I enjoyed the challenge of the trails, which were scenic most of the time, but concluded it would be too tough for some of the members.
