looking frozen at Albion Falls

To start the New Year off on a different foot, we decided to go on a three hour hike in the -30 degree Celsius weather! What an adventure! We drove to Albion falls in Hamilton Ontario, located along the Niagara Escarpment and part of the Bruce Trail. Albino Falls is a 19 metre cascade falls, although it was frozen when we visited, so not very cascade-y!

People have been injured here so be careful when you are hiking along the top of the gorge. It is also possible to slip and become trapped at the bottom, so take every precaution when visiting. You can hike into the valley from the one parking lot, along a marked pathway.

Winter was a great time to visit this falls. Albion is a very popular falls in Hamilton, and it can become quite crowded in the summer months.

Here is a video we made of Albion Falls.
