Albion Hills Conservation Area
One of several conservation areas close to Toronto we have visited in summer to hike and trail run, and in winter to snowshoe and cross country ski. We were there again on Saturday taking on what are for us some challenging cross country ski trails ! Still beginners, and working on some sort of consistent technique, some of the steep downhills provide for some 'hair-rising' rides, and occassional dramatic tumbles. The Albion Hills Conservation Area was the first conservation area in Ontario, declared in 1954. The area is the source of the Humber River that drains south, eventually reaching Lake Ontario just west of Toronto downtown.
