I had been wanting to adventure in Killarney all summer but every time I had a free weekend, the park was booked up. When I checked a few weeks ago, I finally saw a few openings. They were all with portages but after carrying my lil kayak over 3km's in Algonquin each way a few weeks ago I figured a kilometer was totally doable and something I wouldn't have an issue with. Since booking my site on [...]

My very first blog post was after Canada Day weekend 2015 where I spent an amazing 4 days at Grundy Lake Provincial Park. I loved the park and had vowed to return and check out the backcountry soon! It had taken a while but this weekend I was on my way and I couldn't wait! Grundy Lake PP is only about an hour and a half drive from my new home in Port Carling. I [...]

It was a gorgeous Saturday morning when I embarked on my adventure to visit Sherman Falls. Out of all the falls in Hamilton, this one was special to me, as it and I boast the same name! Well, mine is spelled slightly more complicated, but audibly they are one in the same! Located in Ancaster Village, Sherman falls is a 17 metre high curtain waterfall that is a feature along the area's Bruce Trail. According [...]

Tiffany Falls- Frozen & Fabulous!!!

Not adventuring for someone like me is difficult. Whenever I have a spare hour or two, or more, I start thinking of a place I can run off to and explore it. But sadly, time for me, doesn't always allow that. Suprisingly to people who know me and are on my facebook, especially, think blogging and adventuring is my full time job. This, is actually not a job at all, it is what I do [...]

Winter Camping in a Summer Tent-NYE at Mew Lake in Algonquin Park

Judging by my name, Camper Christina, it's safe to say I love camping. What my name doesn't say is that I hate the cold and am not a huge fan of snow! As I have been strictly a 3 season camper, I have never had the need for a winter tent, which in addition to cold and snow, is a big reason I didn't think I would ever go winter camping. Regardless of that, I [...]

Winter Glamping at Mew Lake! – Yurt Trip

If someone had told me a year ago that I would go winter camping, or glamping, in this case, I would've said they were crazy. Up until this year, it has never crossed my mind to even attempt adventuring in the snow, and now I have done it and am actually even camping in a tent for my next two trips! Being in nature in the snow is truly magical and I now understand why [...]

Just over four weeks after my knee surgery and I was dying to get out into nature. To be completely accurate, I was dying to go camping, but for now, a hike in the woods would suffice. The last two weekends I'd Ridden my bike over 10 km's each day and my knee felt really awesome! I was hiking with a friend and a five year old so I figured I should be able to [...]

Bruce Trail in Grimsby- A GORGEOUS WORKOUT!

It was a gorgeous day out and even though I'd hiked 10 hours the day before, I couldn't resist getting outside to do a few more trails today! I headed to Gibson Street in Grimsby to park my car and start my amazing adventure! This was my last weekend before my knee surgery to hike and I was taking total advantage and spending as much time doing what I loved while I was able to! [...]

Virtual Hike at Woodend – Laura Secord, TCT, Wetland Ridge AND Bruce Trail? WOW!

By Christina|2015-11-16T06:00:00-05:00November 16th, 2015|Categories: #hikes, Adventure, conservationarea, Exploring, falls, hike, Hiking, leaves, Nature, Outdoors, Trails, walking, walks|Tags: @bruceTrail_BTC, @npca_ontario, @ontariotrails, @ontrails, @tctrail, #adventure, #brucetrail, #conservationarea, #hiking, #laurasecordlegacy, #niagaracollege, #NOTL, #ontario, #trails, #walking, #wetlandtrail, #woodendconservationarea|

One day after work I decided to go for a hike at Woodend Conservation Area. Woodend is one of my favourite 'quick & easy' places to hike. It is right beside a major highway and just on the outskirts of St. Catharines in Niagara On The Lake, Ontario, but it still feels like I am in the forest when I am there (minus the sounds of the traffic). The weather wasn't the best, but so far [...]

It was a rare thing for me to have free time these days, but last Sunday, I had the whole day to myself. I had honestly assumed I would be hungover as Saturday was Grape & Wine in Niagara, a festival many locals and tourists participate in revolving around drinking wine. I ended up waking up at 715am, and felt great so I got up and decided it was a good day to go adventuring, [...]
