Thanksgiving Weekend Hike - Luskville Falls

onward and upward!

D. and I spent yesterday hiking under the sun, taking in the gorgeous fall colours of Gatineau Park and the Ottawa Valley. We did the Luskville Falls trail - a new trail for me.

What a trek!

It's not a long trail - about 4-5km return trip - but it's a demanding one. It climbs 300m up the steep face of the Eardley Escarpment, rewarding us with stunning views of the Ottawa Valley along the way. More than once I had to stop and bend over to catch my breath, but it felt so great to be out there! Once we reached the top, we enjoyed a picnic lunch and cracked open our tetra pack of Chardonnay.

All in all not a shabby way to start the long weekend.
