Every year, we go to a conservation area a little ways out from the city for a short hike. It’s along the Niagara Escarpment and has very cool little cliffs and rocks to climb. This year was Rufus’ first time. He was so excited in the car cuz he doesn’t usually get to go out.. but after doing a little hiking, he whined the rest of the way because he’s not used to walking so much on his own! haha!
I’ve never noticed before, but the trail we take had a new sign. Look what it’s called!!
We were following the breadcrumb trail… it went THIS way!!
Rufus was very hesitant about doing all this walking on his own. He normally prefers to be carried.
Zackary: Come on, Rufus!!
There are these really nice cliffs where rock-climbers like to climb. The trail we take goes along the top of the cliffs. We went right up close to the edge and looked down.. it’s pretty far down!!
lookie how high up we are!!
There was lots of scenic areas!
so peaceful and pretty!
I think Rufus was trying to push me off the cliff!!
Rufus is always trailing behind. *sigh*
Rufus: wait..*pant* up..*pant* Zackary!! Zackary: COME ON!!
More complaining and whining from Rufus…
Rufus: *pant pant* i need a *gasp* rest!!
So we finally took a nice long break. Sadly, we forgot to bring snacks!!
On the way back, Rufus hid in the backpack.. lazy bugger!
It was a fun trip! We got to stomp on the crunchy leaves (the BEST part of autumn!) Hopefully, we’ll be able to go again next year!
