Killbear Provincial Park, Georgian Bay area
Travelling within the vast and varied province of Ontario can be like visiting a few different countries, and the amount of time it takes to do it attests to that! It’s such a big province that it can take as long as flying abroad to cross it by car. That means there’s lots to see and do!
In fact, travel and trekking in Ontario is as diverse as the province’s landscapes and ecosystems. Whether travelling for leisure or trekking for rugged adventure, each region within Ontario has something distinct to offer.

Oh, […]

Five years ago, I undertook the challenge of hiking Killarney Provincial Park’s La Cloche Silhouette Trail by myself, accompanied by my black lab Fetcher. So it was nice to plan a trip with my partner and now two black labs (add Maggie). Of course there were bumps along the way, some organisational, some more physical (and you’d think […]
When I set myself a goal, if I put it in writing, I’m much more likely to achieve it. Posting my Hiking Hit List for this year didn’t so much feel like making a commitment than as making a reservation. I got super-excited to see some of the special spots I’d been dreaming about all winter, feeling like […]
Every Spring I make a list of the places I’d like to hike during the season, but it never occurred to me to post about it until a short while ago.
