Ontario | Algonquin
November 2023 – 2 days
Algonquin Provincial Park is one of the largest parks in Ontario and one of the best places to enjoy the outdoors. We typically visit every summer to explore the backcountry by canoe. But over the past couple of years, we’ve returned later in the fall for some hiking in the southern part of the park. This time trading in our tent for a yurt to camp in comfort since the days are shorter and the nights are colder. I was also eight months pregnant at the time. And my younger sister, mom and uncle who aren’t really into roughing it in the wild would be joining me.
Ontario | Point Pelee
October 2023 – 3 days
Point Pelee National Park is located along Lake Erie and is the southernmost point in mainland Canada. It is the second smallest national park and the first national park to be established for conservation. About two thirds of the park consists of marsh, but there are also forests and sandy beaches. It contains just over 12 km of nature trails and is reputed to be a great spot for bird watching.
Ontario | The Cabin
October 2023 – 2 days
The fall is our favorite time of the year to visit the cabin. The display of leaves changing colour is beautiful with all the red sugar maples and golden birches. Plus the days are still warm and best of all, there are no pesky bugs. So we decided to visit the cabin on a free weekend in October to enjoy the last of the fall foliage. But we also had some work to do.
Ontario | Neys Provincial Park
October 2023 – 3 days
