I took advantage of a warm rainy evening by hiking into Dundas Valley. From above you can see the thick forest, cliffs and Dundas peak (a popular tourist destination).
The trail begins at the base of the peak and is heavily overgrown. Huge patches of stinging nettle, fallen trees and eroded sections make it difficult in some areas. But you can still make it to the rock overhangs.
Then to the start of the waterfalls. At this small cascade you can turn left and go to Websters falls. Or turn right and head to Tews falls. Tews is my favorite hiking destination so I took the right turn.
Directly behind the cascade is lower Tews fall. A beautiful 12 foot tall waterfall.
After a 15 minute hike past the lower falls, you arrive at Tews falls. A 135 foot ribbon waterfall.
I had intended to get closer to the waterfall but the rain started to get heavier and the sun was quickly setting. So I had to turn back. It is a great hike that so many people do not get to experience since it is a difficult one and the local authorities try to prevent people from doing by giving trespassing tickets ($400) to those caught in the valley. Why fines for hiking in nature? Well the city wants to make money by charging reservation and parking fees. Offering a trail and look out at the top of the escarpment.
Wow! These are beautiful pictures. I love them 😘😘😘
You sure had an amazing time.
