It’s just outside of the town of Milton, which is about an hour and 20 minutes west of Toronto.
If you’re wondering how it got its name, don’t worry, it’s not because of actual rattlesnakes.
The name is derived from the winding, snake-like paths cut by glaciers along the Niagara Escarpment.
However, you may spot some turkey vultures here. But best of all, you’ll be treated to unsurpassed views of the countryside.
