Nice bit of trail and forest just west of the 403 pedestrian bridge eh.
Also when you get to the start of SMT parking lot you can cross main street and follow a trail through the valley in MAC's parking lots.
Indeed - way gnarlier than anything we deal with at smt. Nice superthick carpet of leaves too.
Do you have to go on that grassy field under the power lines? You could probably link it up to the Ginger Valley trail and cut off almost all road running?
We should start SMT at the Tiffany Falls parking lot instead. A lot more options from there and gnarlier trail for sure. Sure it is farther to drive but well worth it.
When you cross the trestle on the rail trail head north through that housing complex, cross Osler drive, take trail through MAC parking lot and cross over Cootes and take what is now a jungle trail to link up with ravine trail then ginger valley trail.
If you are training on a road in Hamilton then you are doing something wrong.
