Outdoors

On the last day of our honeymoon, we decided to check out of the resort early and spend the day hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park before heading back to the city. We purchased a day-pass the previous day so we were set!

Our first stop was a small lookout on the side of Highway 60 with a pretty view of Brewer Lake. As we drove along, we kept our eyes open for moose! Our first hike was through Beaver Pond Trail which was a 2KM trek and definitely one of my favourites.

We checked out the visitors centre which has wonderful exhibits and an amazing view of the surrounding land. This is definitely a place you need to stop at if you are visiting the park or even just travelling through.

Our next hike took us to the Spruce Bog Boardwalk which is a 1.5KM loop with nice boardwalks, great scenery...just a beautiful hike in general. As we were leaving and continuing our drive, we saw a....moose! We would later see a second moose on the side of the road before quickly returning to the forest.

Hardwood Lookout Trail was a short but hilly trail that had a view of Smoke Lake. On our continued drive down Highway 60, we were fortunate enough to capture this beautiful fox proudly carrying his lunch back home. It is so amazing because it is not often we see an animal like this in its natural environment doing what it does. I was excited about this for days.

Our final stop before our drive home was to Ragged Falls. I had been here before and was excited to show Keir. What a wonderful end to our honeymoon...and we definitely need to return as there is so much more in Algonquin to explore.
