Adventures in the outdoors
During our stay in Algonquin Park over New Year’s, we love having the opportunity to go out exploring. This year we decided on visiting the falls near Mew Lake on the Highland Backpacking trail and the falls on the Track and Tower trail. Notice a theme here? We went searching for waterfalls.
Have you ever winter camped in a yurt?
Last year I convinced my crew to go winter camping in a yurt at Algonquin Provincial Park during the new year celebrations. This year we did a repeat and spent 3 nights at Mew Lake. I will give you some tips and tricks on how to enjoy winter camping in a yurt and a little bit of what it is like during this time of year.
This year a group of outdoor enthusiasts planned and organized the first ever Ontario Winter Camping Symposium. There would be speakers that have all sorts of different winter camping experiences, and they would share a little of their knowledge with the lucky 300 people who were able to get tickets.
Have you ever planned a trip and then cancel last minute? Was it due to unforeseen circumstances? Was it due to weather? Did you get sick and couldn’t travel? I’m sure we have all come across a situation where a trip that was planned had to be cancelled. Well this past weekend was one of those trips.
