Turn right and follow the paved road around a sharp left bend. 10th Line continues straight as an unopened road allowance. You will be continuing east on Mayfield Road. Pass the intersection with Winston Churchill Blvd. The next intersection is Heritage Road. It took us 10 minutes (7 km) to reach this point from our house in Georgetown. Turn left (north) on Heritage Road and continue for about 7 km. At King Street in Terra Cotta, Heritage Road takes a jog to the left. After crossing the bridge over the Credit River, turn right to regain Heritage Rd. About 2 km up the road you will climb the Escarpment. At the top of the hill there is space on the right shoulder where you can park. You will notice some blue blazes on the road here. This is the Rockslide Side Trail, which you will be using to return to your car. Walk back down the road (east side) and look for the white blazes of the main trail going off into the woods. As you look around you ss will notice hills of stones. This area was quarried once, and the hills are the tailings from the quarry operations. The trail follows the Escarpment edge for about 1 km and then turns and goes through a regenerating field. We walked this section in February and noticed many animal tracks in the snow including deer, rabbit, and porcu- pine. After traversing the field, the trail climbs a hill and winds through woods until it reaches the (unopened) Boston Mills road allowance. The distance walked to this point is about 3 km. The main trail turns right at this point. The Rockslide Trail Blazing Side Trail enters on your left. Turn left and follow the side trail. The side trail follows the road allowance, so it is very straight. The blue blazes on this section can be hard to see, so watch carefully. You will soon come to the intersec- tion of Rockslide and Boston Mills roads. Turn left just before this intersection and continue to follow the side trail. After about 3/4 km, ‘ou will come out onto Heritage Road. Continue along the road \e Georgetown Branch 120 Royal Canadian Halton Hills This Week, Saturday, March 6, 1993 — Page 27 Trail Blazing near Terra Cotta invigorating (watch for cars) and you will soon see your car. The side trail is about 2 km in length. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the access point from Georgetown and would take about 35 minutes from Acton. Allow about two hours for the hike. This is a good winter hike but also worthwhile in the spring when many Trilliums are in bloom. » ion has been a sponsor of the Georgetown Hockey Heritage Council dinner for 10 years.
