This past Thanksgiving long weekend, I dragged my boyfriend to Caledon for a hike on a gorgeous warm fall day.

We were probably a week too early for unbelievable colours, but it was still a great day.

We chose to enter the Bruce Trail at the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park:

Pros:

• There are trail maps by the parking meter
• The trails are all well marked
• There are many ponds, streams, and a nice waterfall
• Trails range from wide and flat to narrow and steep
• You can hike through fields or in the trees
• Trail running is also popular here
• Close to the GTA

Cons:

• Parking was $14.50 for the day. There was one machine and it didn’t accept credit cards (this made for a long line).
• The park and parking lot gets very busy as the day goes on (get there early)
• There weren’t many opportunities to loop through trails, so we had to do some out and backs
