Cedarvale Park in Winter

This is the 13th post that I have made from Cedarvale Park (also called Cedarvale Ravine). Torontonians are happy to have this wild area so close to downtown and right at the St Clair West Subway stop.

I have visited this park in January, March, July, September, October and December but this was my first February visit.

It was a windy, overcast and -5 degree afternoon for our visit.

Here is the group:
