Sightseeing
There are some really nice hiking trails nearby and even a waterfall or two if you know where to look! Simply walk towards the mountain (what hamiltonians call the escarpment) and you'll be sure to find a smooth gravel path with good views slowly angling up the mountain, so a more rugged hiking trail that leads through trees and to a few waterfalls. be sure to ask for directions and we can show you exactly where to go.
