Today's hike was at Rattlesnake Point, a great little conservation area, again featuring the Niagara Escarpment. Rattlesnake Point is located in the Halton Region Conservation Area , just North of Dundas on Appleby Line, North of Burlington, and has trails that attach it to the Bruce Trail (and to other conservation areas). You can see the satellite map here. If you're driving North on Appleby to get there you'll be treated to one of the most interesting roads in the flatlands of the GTA (it's very Italy like, with too narrow of a road twisting and curving at amazing gradations).

The ropes you see there are evidence of the rock climbers who scale this face, one of the few natural opportunities to do so in this region.  A couple more pictures from today's outing can be found here. This area is a great little day outing, and is absolutely beautiful as fall rolls around.
