Hey Joe nice content. A few things to note for travellers and hikers about the Hamilton area falls is that if you come in spring after the snowmelt, the falls are that much more impressive because of the extra volume of water. The downside is the hiking trails are sloppy, so you have to dress for the excursion. There is one more good set of falls near Tiffany falls. Its further up the hill near the Ancaster Old Mill. Its called Sherman Falls. Its on private property. You can park near the falls at your own risk or park about 650m away up the backroad. Good call on Decews in St. Kitts. People used to swim there under the falls but theyve tightened up on restrictions. If you are in Hamilton to see the falls, there are another couple near by gems. 1. Rattlesnake Point in Milton is a sick hike. Very scenic and the drive up and down is pretty cool. There is a switchback/hairpin turn with a huge driving mirror for safety. Only trur switchback on an incline I know about or have used ever in Ontario. 2. Eramosa Karst in Stoney Creek. There are cave systems there and the hiking trail itself is very nice. These are actually very close to Albion Falls. 3. Hike to Sam Lawrence Park for the epic views of downtown Hamilton. Sam Lawrence is a city maintained lookout and garden. Near by are huge sets of stairs that are worth checking out. Most towns or cities do not have stairs like these. The Wentworth Steps. Its quite a hike, but the views are great. 4. Royal Botanical Gardens is worth the price of admission. You can easily spend 3-5 hours there checking out the different buildings and exterior gardens. The highlight for me is the semi-arid/med greenhouse. Near by is Cootes Paradise and Bayfront Park. Cheers, keep up the good content dude. p.s. what are the most scenic naturespots along the HWY11 corridor and N. Eastern Ontario in general? I think of Temagami and North Bay area. Any hidden gems? Just got back from Timmins. HWy 11 is sick.
I have a video all about northeast ontario hidden gems so check that out! I'll leave the link right here: th-cam.com/video/b4eKJsdJ_Tg/w-d-xo.html Good point on going in the spring I was pretty disappointed with some of the waterfalls being dry when I went to visit them. Also thanks for all the info on other locations that I can visit I'd really like to head down to southern ontario before the summer ends and make a few more videos about some cool hiking and other experiences!
@@JoeClement Right on man. Well if youre headed down, dont sleep on Elora, Ontario, Port Dover, Turkey Point and Long Point. You already probably know but you could spend days going through the Niagara escarpment from Dundas/Hamilton all the way into the Niagara Peninsula. The hiking/biking here is ridiculous. Southern Ontario has alot to offer for Northerners in a fairly small manageable grid. Its just the time and fuel. Cheers dude.
You won’t see any wildlife anymore but there is thousands of people from india to watch who are too cheep to rent a banquet hall thanks to Hamilton’s bad idea to advertise waterfalls.
Great location!!!
