On the way back to Toronto after dropping my daughter off in Waterloo, I decided to take a detour to visit Elora Gorge and take some photos and video with my new camera.
From by university years at UW, I recall a visit to a swimming spot where we could jump from the cliffs - it turns out my memory was of the quarry not the gorge. But I still really enjoyed the short hike along the Grand River in the Elora Gorge Conservation Area and a quick visit of the lovely nearby small town.
I liked it so much, I saved the climb down to Irvine Creek for a return visit with my wife. So just a week later, I returned to Elora with my wife for a casual and very tasty lunch at The Evelyn. We then had a stroll around the small town and we did some shopping in a very quaint one-of-kind shop. We then had a look at the dam and climbed down the stairs and rocks to Irvine Creek. Before we headed home, we stopped to see the sunflower field at The Fieldstone Barn.
I thoroughly enjoyed my short visits to this beautiful and interesting little Ontario town.
