Hiking in Ferris

It was a very cold winter day and we were staying warm in the house while trying to figure out something to do outside. We weren’t sure what to do, so as we sometimes do, we just hopped into the car and headed out on the highway. The initial plan was to go to Presqu’ile Provincial Park, but when we took the off ramp we had a last minute choice: go left to Presqu’ile or right to Ferris. Since we had been to Presqu’ile a few times this winter already, we turned right and headed North to Ferris.

Pre Christmas Yurt Trip – Part 2

We woke up Sunday morning to a lovely winter scene thanks to the little bit of fresh snow that had fallen overnight. The snow was a fantastic sight because the plan was to go hike some of the trails Algonquin has to offer in the winter. Unfortunately, a couple of our favourites were closed due to bad conditions, but it worked out because that forced us to head to an awesome trail we had never hiked before! If you missed part 1, you can click here to read about our trip so far.

Pre Christmas Yurt Trip – Part 1

For the last two years we went camping in a yurt at Mew Lake in Algonquin Park for New Year’s (You can read about year 2 here), but this year we didn’t get a Yurt booked because we were adventuring in Iceland and we missed the opportunity. We may have missed our shot at New Year’s, but we still wanted to go winter camping at Mew Lake, so when a different opportunity came up, we jumped on it.

Winter Falls in Arrowhead

In December we headed to Huntsville to see a concert by Hawksley Workman, which also happened to coincide with the opening weekend for Arrowhead Provincial Park. We took advantage of this great timing and planned a day trip into Arrowhead to do some hiking and snowshoeing.
