Elora Travel Guide

 Faiza-Ifrah Says:  The rocky platform that we landed on after climbing down the 'Hole in the Rock' gave us an idea of how deep the gorge was and how far down we would eventually have to descend to enjoy tubing and kayaking in the Grand River.One point to note is that up on the ridge level, it... 

 Faiza-Ifrah Says:  The slopes and floor of the gorge were lush green with many kinds of herbs, shrubs, wild flowers and trees. The floor itself was rocky and slippery due to erosion from the river water. Closer to the floor, the gorge had exposed the roots of many trees. We could see huge... 

 Faiza-Ifrah Says:  At the junction of the trails marked yellow and green, it said 'Hole in the Rock', which is shown in the picture.Climbing down the stairs through the Hole we landed in a open platform, which probably was a rock outcrop over the gorge, giving a pleasant view of the Grand... 

 Faiza-Ifrah Says:  We entered the park from Elora town side and turned right at the first fork within the conservation area. We continued towards the end of the park and stopped at the parking which showed a map of the park with 3 prominently marked hiking trails (see picture). The map turned...

 Tuque Says:  Upscale. The kind of restaurant that has a wine cellar and calls the food 'cuisine'.We dine here for special occassions (anniversary, special birthday, graduation, etc.)Fantastic setting in a converted stone mill next to the "Tooth of Time" waterfall on the Grand... 

 Tuque Says:  Small, quaint, good food. Nice place for lunch. Nice place for a tea break. In the summer there's outside seating in the back patio. Reflects the arts and crafts feel of Elora. 

 gmccracken Says:  A great place to relax in the pub and sip a hot chocolate overlooking the falls in winter! For a great photo op of the Inn, cross the river and shoot at dusk. See attached photo. Stuffed salmon was very well prepared and flavourful. 

 gmccracken Says:  Alternate views of the Elora Mill Inn and the Elora Gorge can be had by following the lesser known walking trail on the opposite side of the Grand River from the Elora Mill Inn. From the mill, walk to the Geddes Street Bridge, opposite the gas station, cross it and follow... 

 Faiza-Ifrah Says:  Tubing is really off the beaten path adventure. It is more fun when done in company. We had only one tube and Rayyan and Ifrah took turns on it. But there were joint families and groups of 6 members and over, who did tubing and made chains by holding each others' hands.We... 

 Faiza-Ifrah Says:  Although we did not go for it, kayaking was actually possible and many adventurers were having fun in the deeper sections of the river.Boating, rowing and canoing that we husband and wife enjoy the most was not possible since the river was too rough and full of jagged rocks... 

 Faiza-Ifrah Says:  We rented the tube at the renting store near the entrance of the park. Suhail decided to drive the car upstream and parked it at the road side. We climbed the stairs down to the gorge where a group of visitors was already enjoying tubing. I frah was everready to be the first... 

 TRAVELSISTER Says:  If you come for the day, week or to live, don't stay indoors and miss the beautiful surroundings. In spring, ride your bike along the Elora Cataract trail to Fergus loop back along the south trail past the museum over the bridge and through the trees. In summer, walk the...
