Genius Hour Project Week Three

Welcome to Glenridge Quarry Naturalization Site

Todays hike was Glenridge Quarry Naturalization Site in St. Catharines Ontario.
 I was looking at the difficulty of the trail. 
Here are the guidelines I was going off of:

Terrain (the physical features of the trail)

Steepness (how many hills there were)

Base (mud, clay, rock, dirt, wood) 

Accessibility (wheelchair, adults, children)

Each category will be rated on a scale 1-5 and Each trail will get an overall rating. The higher the rating on a scale of 1-5 the more difficult the trail. The lower number is wanted unless training for something or for pushing limits. Each trail is based on 9 different ratings totalling a score out of 45. 45 out of 45 being 100%.   

We did the children's area, and the pond portion today.

Terrain: The terrain was very low on the difficulty scale as there were no obstacles across the man made trail in the middle of a field. You could get away with flip flops or even bare feet on this trail. 

Steepness: There are very minimal steep hills, there are a couple slow and steady inclines and declines but nothing too vigorous.

Base: the base is tightly packed fine gravel that was brought in and placed there. It is very smooth and it is easy walking. 

Accessibility: This trail is accessible for all, wheelchairs, children and adults.

Overall Trail Rating = 16/45 =  35%  
Overall this trail is very low on the difficulty scale. In my opinion it is rather boring, I like a little more of a challenging hike.
