Scarborough Bluffs near Rosetta McClain Gardens

Visited Rosetta McClain Gardens today and it was a lovely (and quite peaceful) place.  Still getting 'green' and some areas (like the rose gardens) will need another month to be at their height.

We then decided to walk down to the lake - there is an access about 100ft east of the gardens. About 2/3 of the way down was a nice lookout point.

Then down to Lake Ontario and a walk along the lake with the bluffs on one side and a blue-green expanse to the horizon on the other

Precarious edge
And some rocky beach areas. Looks like a lot of work went into this piece of 'beach art'.

This really doesn't feel like Toronto! And beautiful cliffs and water as we hit the end of the trail.

2020/9/12 Update: Some of you may have seen something recently where past of the Scarborough Bluffs collapsed when people were nearby (https://youtu.be/AAu2cjQlkzw). So we went back today to see if it had changed. 

My pictures are taken from the opposite side from the video above. Looks like quite a difference towards the left side at the base. No houses fell down though. But that will come (again - latest ones seem to be https://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/3fg1cf/falling_house_from_scarborough_bluffs/).


Oh yeah, and the gardens are filled out a bit more now (Sept) compared to May:
