Hockley Valley Provincial Park

We continue to explore conservation areas not too far from where we live in Mississauga, Toronto. On Easter Friday we completed a terrific and challenging hike in the Hockley Valley Provincial Park, another of the conservation areas located on the Niagara Escarpment. It turned out to be one of my favourite hikes in all the areas we have hiked close to Toronto. There are no facilities, and we walked for long periods with no sign of human construction or habitation, other than wooden bridges crossing streams. The terrain is also challenging winding up and down the valley slopes.
