With the cold weather and snow we are having this week there will be some excellent ice formations along the shoreline, so....
Let's hike along the bottom of the Scarborough Bluffs starting and ending at the Doris McCarthy Trail head.
Most of the hike will be on the beach which means sand, snow, ice, driftwood logs and a couple of rocky sections to negotiate

This is the route we will take.
