Enjoying Brilliant Fall Colour on a Hike at Mount Nemo, Burlington, Ontario






Living in Toronto, Canada is a blessing indeed!

We are close to a lot of other interesting cities which we can easily visit within a few hours to a day's drive.














Hiking on Mount Nemo, Burlington, Ontario, Canada


We are also close to many beautiful parks and conservation area.

Shortly after the Thanksgiving weekend,  we joint our church's fall outing and went on a hike to Mount Nemo, a conservation area in Halton area near Burlington, Ontario.












Mount Nemo is a 5.2 km loop trail with a number of side trails.

Hikers can choose a trail that suits their hiking ability level.

We chose one that could be completed comfortably within a coupe of hours.
















The highlight of our hike was reaching the summit and looking down from above to the area below.







We enjoyed an excellent view of beautiful fall scenery on top of Mount Nemo

We saw the Niagara escarpment wide open in front of us.

We stopped at the Harris Lookout.

























Pastor Lo shared with us the blessings on the mount from the bible.























Being on the top of the hill allowed us to have a great view of the area around us.

We could see the skyline of Toronto and the CN Tower located in downtown
Toronto which is more than thirty km away.

The favourite part for me was when we saw a special rock formation  from a vintage point.

Everyone marveled at its likeness of a native man wearing a headgear and looking down at the area below.

It was so realistic!




















At the end of our hike, we went to a diner in the area.


















There were a few items on the menu and we enjoyed some delicious Middle Eastern food!








                                                              It was an enjoyable autumn day!
