Newly added to the long list of trails in Algonquin Park is the Fire Tower Trail! On Tuesday August 25th, 2015, my mom and I visited the trail to check it out! The trail is located to the left of the Visitor Centres front doors. This new trail is small but mighty! Only 200 metres long round trip, but it is full of information about the history of fire towers in the park. The trail [...]
On Sunday August 9th, I left the TCT in Guelph and headed to do a section of the trail in Cambridge, in a somewhat round about way home. I was a bit tired from the night before, celebrating my friends wedding in Guelph, but had figured since I was already there, why not do some of the Trans Canada Trails out this way? I mapped out a route to do the trail in Guelph, then [...]
On the morning of Sunday August 9th, I woke up groggily after celebrating my friends wedding. I was in Guelph and therefore had brought my bike, deciding to do a portion of the Trans Canada Trail here today. I got dressed, packed my backpack and headed out on my way, deciding to start the trail in behind Woolwich Street at MacDonell Street, just a section down from the church where I watched my friends marry [...]
On Monday, August 3rd, 2015, I planned to go for a nice bike ride on the Trans Canada Trail with my mom. A few weeks ago we were honoured with the gift of two #woodsexplorer shirts from @woods_canada to thank us for our interest in the Woods Brand and for my involvement in their growing online community. They had asked to give one to my mom and for us to wear the shirts on our next adventure, and today [...]
The Marsh Trail is one of the many trails you can visit when at Rondeau Provincial Park. I camped at Rondeau from July 24th to July 26th, and the day of our departure, we headed to the Marsh Trail for a hike to stretch our legs before our 4 hour drive back home. Here is the description of the trail from the @ontarioparks website : http://www.ontarioparks.com/park/rondeau (I hope it's okay that I quote this? ) "Marsh Trail – 7.2 [...]
I saw a list of Canada's top 25 parks last year and Rondeau Provincial Park was on that list. I have never been there, so I decided to put a plan in motion to resolve that. My friend Beth was wanting a getaway, so we booked a site and planned our adventure. Here is the list of Canada's top 25 sites I saw: http://www.explore-mag.com/the-top-25-campsites-in-canada As I've been camping quite a bit this summer so far, [...]
Rockway Conservation Area is a 126 hectare park featuring the Bruce Trail and the Rockway Falls Side Trail. It is a beautiful place to go for a hike, boasting many water features, great hiking and wildlife. On Saturday, July 11th, 2015, my friend Beth and I decided to go for an early evening hike at Rockway. I am unsure if there are any other places to park, other than the lot I go to which [...]
