Family Day Forest Hike

We set out early for one of our favourite family forest hikes.  Check out the pictures and try and figure out where we were or how far from home; 5 min., 1 hour, 2 hours, 5 hours?  Check the end of the blog for the correct answer.

We also found and followed these tracks:

Can you see our quarry in the exact middle of the picture in the snowy glen?  Any guesses now?  Check for the answer at the end of the blog.

We have a favourite sliding hill just off the main trail we call the Otterslide.  We go for a slide whenever their is snow.

So here’s the big reveal; Moreau Trail Park into Warden Woods at Warden Ave. and St. Clair Ave., Toronto. The creek featured in one of the pics is Taylor Massey Creek.  The first track posted is a from a rabbit and the animal we tracked and spotted was a coyote.  It’s just a 3 minute drive or 15 minute walk from our house.  Wild urban adventure!
