Webster Falls

Dundas · Ontario · Canada

Webster Falls — hero

Checked off another popular spot and there were quite a lot of people around did not expect to see so many Indian visitors after such a long time

For Webster Falls you can drive straight into the park car park it is usually paid but the machine was broken today and the staff helped lift the gate for us this waterfall is very impressive but it is not very clear where to walk down for a lower view

After heavy snowfall the snow is quite deep so wear proper shoes the ground is not too slippery so you do not need much extra gear

#2 · 19 m drop

Albion Falls

Hamilton · Ontario · Canada

Albion Falls — hero

A rare 15°C winter weekend. As the weather cools down, there are fewer outdoor places worth exploring, so with some year-end downtime, it’s a good excuse to drive out and wander somewhere new.

It’s about a 1-hour drive from Toronto to Hamilton. This trail has a mix of waterfall views, hiking paths, streams, a golf course nearby, and even a hilltop evening view, which makes it feel more special than a typical walk.
