Winter hiking near Toronto (Behind an Ontario Waterfall in the Winter – on the Niagara Escarpment)
March 3, 2013 by Rockwatching
Some time ago I did some winter hiking near Toronto (Niagara Escarpment) and explored behind a waterfall to see how it would look with all the icicles. Needless to say it was amazing – exceeded my most hopeful expectations. Most impressive was this low rumbling sound that filled the whole cavity, it was a new dimension to my unusual Ontario based travels – sound.
Check out this video of behind an Ontario waterfall – here.
In line with the publication of my first book in 2005 (Rockwatching), in the video that I have linked to just above, I show a little bit of the local rock and the contact between the Queenston Shale and the Whirlpool Sandstone.

Wow – that is crazy – the icicles look like hair – beautiful!
Pretty cool, that’s a wild climb to get down there this time of year too isn’t it?
Actually it’s easier in the winter, just the snow is really deep near the bottom
