Killarney Provincial Park : David Lake and Silver Peak

I've heard about the beautiful Killarney Provincial Park for years, so I decided to plan a short, 4 day trip to Killarney. Day 1: Josée and I drove up on clear, sunny day. We loaded up the canoe and started out on Bell Lake.  We had picked up some Subway on the drive there and …

The Adirondack Park: Colvin, Blake, Nippletop and Dial

This time, I did very little research on what trail to hike next. My initial plan was to hike the Rocky Peak Ridge and Giant Mountain with some friends, but that fell through. So I decided to hike the Mount Colvin and Blake Peak trails and, if I had the energy, check out the Indian …

The Adirondack Park: Yard and Big Slide back on the Brothers

For my third peak of the ADK 46 (the 46 High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains), I summited Big slide. I also summited Yard Mountain, which has an elevation of 4009 feet, but it's too close to Big Slide to count as one of the 46. On a Friday night, I drove down and stayed …

The Adirondack Park: Street and Nye

Over the long winter months in Ottawa, I was researching popular day hikes around the area. That's when I found the ADK 46 challenge - meaning to summit all 46 High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. I knew I couldn't hike the more challenging, lengthy trails, so I looked for the trails that were shorter …

Frontenac Provincial Park: Slide Lake Loop

Arab Lake The Slide Lake loop trail is the longest and most rugged trail in Frontenac Provincial Park. It was Thanksgiving morning and I had no plans until later that night, so I decided to go on a hike there. A few weeks prior, I had done a couple hikes in Gatineau park and had …

Tombstone Territorial Park

We all met up in Whitehorse after travelling from where we’re currently living; Edmonton (PA), Vancouver (Kyle), Moncton (Mark) and Ottawa (me). PA arrived before us and had already picked up our rental car. From there, we drove all the way to Dawson, had dinner and decided to sleep in our tents at the campsite …
