The trail guide stopPed the group at a tiny .rise on the river bank inviting everyone over to what he called one of tie `lookout points". Expecting Co step out• of the bush and be standing on a high . bluff overlooking the Maitland the hikers were. disappointed only because they were• not high _over the river. The scene was beautiful and 'the .hikers were instantly proud: they had left their soft chairs to come on the hike. The view was one provided by standing on the bend of the river not far ,below the falls.

Downriver. was a similar scene except no fishermen interrupted the .natural beauty. Resting and enjoying the s~cenery' the group was not indignant when Bill Wisser suggested they. move on. The next section of the trail.was along the flat flood plain and the group was silent as they seemed. to. be absorbing the atmosphere. - Tall trees surrounded .them with branch.es that.served as an umbrella about 50 fe°et up,;. Falling leaves and the sigh of the breeze seemed to relax everyone' as. they walked slowly down the trail. The trail guide sensed the mood and gave the group a gentle reminder that because they had come down a 'hill recently they had to go back up another.eine tp finish. the route. The hill going up, however, was nothing like the' one corning .down. A tractor path cut through the bush descended the. hill "which was a full 100 yards easy and steep enough to. require the hikers to lean over as they walked;, Slowing the pace the trail guide got the group up the hill with little effort and even gave them,a chance to enjoy the terrain. Once at the top' all that remained was a short walk down a lane to the •road where New improvements made Scenery. from a calendar a truck was waiting to' take everyone back to their cars and their starting.point.
