"High Park gets a lot of attention in the summer, but let's not forget how peaceful it can be in the winter. \n\nI recently walked around the west side trails, which have some great hills if you're looking for a bit of exercise, and it was clear and bright and white. People whizzed by me on skis occasionally, but for the most part, I heard nothing but the rustling of squirrels and creaking of trees. \n\nIt is one of the only places in the city where I can actually convince myself for a second that I'm not in the city."^^ .
