Barron Canyon by sunnygreenwood

Barron Canyon

I went to Algonquin Park for a hike with 7 friends. The hiking trail is short but is a spectacular 100 meters above the Barron River and has views comparable to the Eagle's Nest [where we were a few days ago, overlooking the waterlilies]. The Barron River was carved out about 10,000 years ago by raging water from the melting glaciers.

There was a little bit of colour from the changing leaves but the woods in the surrounding area is predominately a variety of evergreens so we saw lots of green .... ;-).

Many thanks for dropping by! Barry and Kala think it's funny they made the pop page .... thanks for that!
Wow, what a view. It looks so beautiful. really like the changing colours too.

Great point of view, did you guys hike up? : )
September 29th, 2011  
@beautifulplanet yes, from the parking lot not too far down the road from the gate closest to Pembroke. it's a very short hike, 1.5 km --- i wanted to do it twice but would have been doing it by myself the second time. not a hike for small children ... so close to the cliff, so far down.
