Petroglyphs Provincial Park

This past weekend I had the chance to go to Petroglyphs Provincial Park. The park has the largest collection of First Nation petroglyphs in Ontario. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to take pictures of the actual Petroglyphs which is why there isn't any in this post. I can promise you that they are breathtaking. After I went and saw the petroglyphs I went on a hike. The trail was just a loop that went around a lake and was a nice walk but there was a lot of bugs. The first picture is of the trail itself. The next two pictures are of the lake, each photo is from opposite sides of the lake. The remaining two photos are of a red squirrel that I was able to get a nice photo of.

Hunting Camp 2023

My yearly trip up to my family's "Hunt Camp" was last weekend. It was a great time seeing the family and seeing the beautiful landscape that it sits on.

The Canadian, Vancouver-Toronto

The final part of my trip was taking ViaRail's Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto. This has been a bucket list trip for me as I've wanted to do this since I can remember, and it did not disappoint. The food on the train is quite good, with some meals being shown in this blog post. Lunch and dinner come with a soup or salad to start the choice of 4 mains and then dessert. The photo's are a mix from my Sony a6600 and Iphone, the Sony camera did not take good photos through the train windows so I had to resort to the Iphone which still wasn't the best, hence the reflections in some of the photos.

A Day Trip to Algonquin

I recently had the chance to go to Algonquin Provincial Park for a day trip during the week. This meant slightly less crowds at the trail heads. I did two different trails, while at the park, Whiskey Rapids and Peck Lake. Each trail is roughly 2.5ish KM in length and moderate difficulty. The Whiskey Rapids trail, starts off going downhill really fast, then follows the river for a good distance leading to the rapids the trail is named after, before heading back up to the trailhead in a much more reasonable ascent. On this trail I was able to take a photo of the White-throated Sparrow and the first two mushroom photos. The second trail, Peck Lake is a loop trail that goes around Peck Lake which is rather small and more of a good size pond compared to a lake. This trail had a little up and down but was fairly flat overall. The trail has multiple spots that you can use to go right down to the water and have a look around. The remaining photos are all from that trail. White-throated S
