We weren’t expecting to see a family of #beavers sleeping on the river bank. That was pretty special! (Only had my phone for the picture 😕)
Just came back from my #FirstDayHike for 2023. Hiked 6.8KM along the #GrandRiver in #Waterloo this time.

The #beavers have certainly been busy though!
After 3 days of blustery winter weather it was nice to get a #hike in at #PioneerTower along the #GrandRiver in #Kitchener, #Ontario.
We hiked 8.8KM along the river & spotted some #birds that we thought would have migrated south by now:
