Hiking the Emily Tract - The Kawarthas

It's been a while.  Probably the longest break I've taken from blogging since I started nearly seven years ago. Summer got in the way.  Time with kids got in the way.  Deadlines got in the way, and a broken laptop got in the way.

Thankfully one of the other blogging 'barriers' was a week away in the Kawarthas with my family, the minions, and limited time spent online.

We were able to explore some fantastic hikes thanks to some cool breezes that prevented Jack from getting 'too sweaty' - something that he hates when hiking, and that often gets pushed to later in autumn when the nice weather is fleeting.

Over our week we tried out three hikes and by far the best one was the one at Emily Tract Trail (not to be confused with Emily Provincial Park, whose hikes were a huge disappointment (and waste of a $14 day pass fee.)  This hike of Emily Tract had free parking, well marked trails, and sweet small views of nature as opposed to big "Awwww moments" often found on hikes with big climbs or waterfall features.  If you ever find yourself in the area consider checking out these dual 2KM loops.  Word to the wise, avoid these trails when it's wet outside (early spring or right after a lot of rain) as it could get quite muddy, slippery, and buggy.
