If you're looking for a unique experience that includes some interesting history then Petroglyphs Provincial Park is your destination. Not only does this park have about 20km of trails, it is home to 900 petroglyphs that were carved 500-1000 years ago! It was really hard to leave the camera behind, but you are asked to not take photographs of the petroglyphs, so you'll just have to take my word that they were awesome! Keep reading.
Restoule Provincial Park was the last stop during our Thanksgiving camping trip and the stay couldn't have been better! Not only was the park opened for an extra day, but it was also virtually empty. It's incredibly fun having an entire campground to yourself! One of the perks of it being deserted was that there were numerous deer wandering around the park. When we came back from our hike there was one resting in the site across from ours and we frequently saw them around the comfort station. It was an amazing experience to have a doe and fawn grazing five feet away! Keep reading.
February's photos are a mix of old and new favourites. Upper Beamer Falls was the shot that sparked my love of waterfall photography, Lower Decew Falls was probably my craziest adventure yet, Ferris' Morning Mist was an unexpected surprise at the end of our Thanksgiving camping trip and Above Washboard Falls will be almost impossible to duplicate. Enjoy! Keep reading.
Hamilton is packed with great waterfalls and Washboard Falls is no exception. Located just upstream from Tiffany Falls, this waterfall is probably one of the hardest in the region to visit as the climb up the east side of Tiffany Falls is pretty rough. I don't think the climb will stop me from returning though, it will just take a little extra planning! Keep reading.
Years ago, on our first trip to Short Hills Provincial Park, we also paid a visit to Morning Star Mill and Decew Falls. The village is really charming, like a step back in time. It's amazing that these little spaces still exist and that they're so accessible. You can get a nice look of the falls from the village, but it's not the best. To get a better look you need to follow the path out of town and along the gorge's edge. As we were following the trail, we could see movement at the bottom of the gorge. It seemed that there was an even better view of the falls, it just required some extra effort. That is never a problem! Keep reading.
