Who Stole My Style . . . I mean, Stile
I don’t get out to Grimsby very often. But when I do, the Niagara Escarpment calls out to me. There is just something about running up Hamilton Mountain and doing so through a network of trails. It is challenging and beautiful. I love it. This is a trail map of the route I usually take.…
