Scarborough Bluffs

Scarborough Bluffs (also called Bluffer's Park) is on the eastern side of the city of Toronto. It is the area along the coast of Ontario Lake shore for about 14 kilometers. It is composed of impressive rocky escarpment and it offers a magnificent view of the lake when you trek to the topmost part of the bluffs. Some parks in the area provide access to clifftops.

It has been said that the bluffs was called as such because it reminded Elizabeth Simcoe (the wife of the the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada) of Scarborough, England. Her fondness of the place was written in her diary, "The eastern shore is extremely bold, and has the appearance of chalk cliffs, but I believe they are only white sand. They appeared so well that we talked of building a summer residence there and calling it Scarborough."
