Fourteen people came out in the fall splendour to hike the trail on the east side of Hastings Lake.
On this day, the horses were out on the fenced area that the trail runs through. It’s an obstacle course of tree trunks, which forces the horses to practice picking up their feet as they walk through. The horses were very friendly, and they walked with us all the way to our stile.
A landmark on this trail is the Two Stones, a couple of erratics now surrounded by woods.
Lunch was on Mottet Hill, a high spot with an unobstructed view of the land. On the way back, we took the road so that we could get a glimpse of Allen Bay, an extension of Hastings Lake.
Thanks to Lee for scouting and leading the hike, to Trail Maintenance for clearing the trails, to the landowners for their generous permission. You can see all the photos on Flickr.
