Sleeping Giant Provincial Park
August 30, 2025 We went to the Visitor’s Center to get the big picture of the park. It is a very large park with lots of hiking trails and lakes. The campground is Marie Louise on the big lake of the same name. We drove to the north end of the park to hike Joe’s…

Move to Hattie Cove in Pukaskwa National Park
August 23, 2025 We were pretty efficient getting ready, and were soon out on the Trans Canada Highway. It was cloudy with some fog, but few were on the road this morning. I was happy to get behind a good tractor-trailer driver. He was maintaining a sensible speed, so I stayed well-behind, and kept looking…

Noisy Bay Hike
August 21, 2025 It was a beautiful sunny morning. Still sore from previous hikes, it was just too nice a day to sit around. We opted for Noisy Bay, not too far from us. It is a 3-mile out-and-back hike rated moderate that takes from 1.5-3 hours. There is a 500’ elevation change. Like our…

Starting Lake Superior Trip
We set out to explore Lake Superior, some parts of which Kelly and I saw on our “Fish Across Canada” trip in 2013. It was so foggy on that trip, we couldn’t see 20 yards in front of us. The old days of traveling without reservations are gone, so I have booked campgrounds all along…

Hidden Valley
If I could catch as many fish as I took flower pictures, I would be in paradise. Similar to Big Meadows in Shenandoah National Park, you could take pictures in all seasons and they would be different. We didn’t see any bears or signs of bears, but surely they are here. There are lots of…

Jackson River Scenic Trail
The Jackson River Trail is approximately 16 miles long following the Jackson River flowing south from Cedar Creek To downtown Covington, Virginia. We wanted to ride from Cedar Creek down, but that section isn’t finished yet, so we went down to Natural Well, first riding north as far as we could, then riding south for…
