Moccasin Trail Park, Toronto, ON

In my desire to innately grasp the ways in which Toronto’s waterways relate to each other, I spent today’s hike in Moccasin Trail Park as well as on a bit of the East Don Trail. It was beautiful! 

The path was paved and only slippery in one small spot on my 2 mile hike - definitely a plus for those with accessibility needs. I did regret not wearing my winter boots, mainly due to the temperature (somewhere around 20F/-6). Thicker socks might have done the trick too. 

One feature of this park is the rainbow tunnel! It’s painted on both sides and all thorough out the inside as well. It was done by Mural Routes, awesome local organization I recommend checking out once this pandemic is over. 

Shortly after the rainbow tunnel, there’s a bridge over the East Don River. I was struck by the intricacy of the tiny ice crystals that had formed around rocks in the water, and by observing areas where the water had frozen versus where it continued to sluice through the surrounding area.

I wandered a bit around a big railroad bridge, and that was about it. Today was a shorter hike, but perfect for a stark winter day like today.

We have visited this unique tree year after year in all kinds of weather conditions but with the Blue Ridge Parkway closed most of the winter, making it there never seemed like an option during snowy weather. Inspired to finally see and photograph the Dragon Tree in the snow, I had to make it happen. Conditions seemed right, so I loaded up early, drove up 276 from the Pisgah National Forest, and started walking south on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It could have been a 9ish mile round trip, but I couldn't resist the Mountains to Sea trail's call, adding a few extra miles to this most gorgeous and intense snow trekking adventure. After many miles, I was delighted to make the first snowy footprints of the day into the woods leading to the Dragon Tree. I wish there had been more time to linger and photograph this one of a kind tree before departing, but it was a long hike back to the truck, so I bid our old friend adieu until next time.
