Climbing up:
Woah! Looking down!
A beautiful shot of thoughtful Gregory:
Check out the view!
Who leaves these huge roots and branches along the path?!!
Lookie! We’re SO high up!
And an adorable shot of the group of up taken by Gregory’s human:
Thanks for sharing the adventure with us!

After several hours tho, we were all pretty tired. Rufus was lagging behind.
Rufus said he had to go.. behind a tree! ew. Hurry up, Rufus!!
Gregory was such a pawesome bear. We were best buddies by the end of the hike!
Here’s all of us at the end. Gregory was exhausted. Yes, Doc was with us the whole time, but he preferred to travel by backpack rather than walk himself. (smart Doc!! *rubbing sore feetpaws*)
Rufus: When do we get to hang out with Gregory again? I like him a lot!

While we were trying to climb our way back up the rocky cliff side, we met a real Canadian BEAR!
His name is Gregory. He said he didn’t meet many peeps.
He showed us where the cool rocks were. (Rufus: Zackary! how did you get up there!!)
And all the beautiful scenic spots!
We climbed up REAL high!
It was really peaceful and lovely!

The other weekend, we went on a little road trip! We put on some warm clothes and packed up our backpacks with yummy carrot snacks!
The trail was called “Rabbits Run Trail”.. Altho, I didn’t meet any rabbits, so that’s kinda weird.
There were cool cliffs!
And lots of stairs..
Did I mention there were LOTS of stairs?!!!
Going down wasn’t too bad, but coming back up.. UGH!! my legs were SO TIRED!!

Every year, we go to a conservation area a little ways out from the city for a short hike. It’s along the Niagara Escarpment and has very cool little cliffs and rocks to climb. This year was Rufus’ first time. He was so excited in the car cuz he doesn’t usually get to go out.. but after doing a little hiking, he whined the rest of the way because he’s not used to walking so much on his own! haha!
I’ve never noticed before, but the trail we take had a new sign. Look what it’s called!!
We were following the breadcrumb trail… it went THIS way!!
Rufus was very hesitant about doing all this walking on his own. He normally prefers to be carried.
Zackary: Come on, Rufus!!
There are these really nice cliffs where rock-climbers like to climb. The trail we take goes along the top of the cliffs. We went right up close to the edge and looked down.. it’s pretty far down!!
lookie how high up we are!!
There was lots of scenic areas!
so peaceful and pretty!
I think Rufus was trying to push me off the cliff!!
Rufus is always trailing behind. *sigh*
Rufus: wait..*pant* up..*pant* Zackary!! Zackary: COME ON!!
More complaining and whining from Rufus…
Rufus: *pant pant* i need a *gasp* rest!!
So we finally took a nice long break. Sadly, we forgot to bring snacks!!
On the way back, Rufus hid in the backpack.. lazy bugger!
It was a fun trip! We got to stomp on the crunchy leaves (the BEST part of autumn!) Hopefully, we’ll be able to go again next year!
