Out of Office 🌲🪵🔥🍂⁠⁠That's right this girl is FINALLY going on a weekend getaway. It's been a gruelling fall. Every weekend since mid-August has been a mad dash of photography sessions, fall activities, work and other craziness. ⁠⁠Now my BFF and I are off to the woods for a relaxing cabin adventure to celebrate both of us turning 30! ⁠⁠I could not be more stoked. It's this adorable A-frame with a sauna! ⁠⁠See ya later, alligator! ⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#ColourItYourWay #BeaverValley #WomenWhoDrone #OntarioOutdoors #DiscoverON #ExploreOntario #OntarioTravel #TravelOntario #GoodTimesOutside #EscapeTheCity #GetOutAndExplore #WomenWhoExploreOntario ⁠#Adventurista #VisitGrey #MoodyVibes #FallColours #FallColoursCanada #FallColoursOntario #FallFoliage #Fall2021 #OctoberFeels #FallPhotography #FolkTravel #DJIMavicMini #DronePals

Do you put away your camping gear in the fall? ❄

Do you put away your camping gear in the fall? ❄️ NEW BLOG POST ❄️⁠⁠While many Ontario Parks close their gates by the last weekend of October, there are still plenty of parks open for those adventurous souls who love the cold season. ⁠⁠It’s no secret that winter in Ontario is a long, hard season. But that doesn’t mean you should waste it holed up inside wishing that spring would come sooner. ⁠⁠In fact – which I can absolutely NOT prove – winter goes by much quicker when you go out and enjoy it.⁠⁠In my new blog post, I give you a list of the best Ontario Parks to visit in the winter, why you should go during winter AND what to do at each park.⁠⁠So grab your snow boots and go check out the post {LINK IN BIO}⁠⁠📍 Killbear Provincial Park (which, sadly, does not stay open in the winter)⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#KillbearProvincialPark #TravelOntario #WomenWhoExploreOntario #OntarioOutdoors #OutboundOntario #OntarioNature #FindYourselfHere #OntarioParks #DiscoverCanada #VisitCanada #WildCanada #FindMeOutside #HikeON #WhyIHike #SheHikes #WomenOutdoors #ExplorersEdge #MuskokaMoment #Muskoka #LoveMuskoka #HuntsvilleOntario #MoodyVibes #FallColours #FallColoursCanada #FallColoursOntario #FallFoliage

In the name of Halloween, let me tell you a spooky

In the name of Halloween, let me tell you a spooky story that happen to my mom and me back in 2014. ⁠⁠First, let me tell you, I'm a woman of science and believe things I can prove with my senses. But I'm also a big ol' scaredy-cat and I don't like scary movies.⁠⁠Back in 2014, my mom and I were on a road trip from Alberta to Ontario, but we took a route through the US. We hadn't made it as far as we liked one night and ended up in Greybull, Wyoming. ⁠⁠There weren't many options to stay, so we ended up at The Historic Hotel Greybull & The Speakeasy, a probation-era hotel that smuggled alcohol from Canada. ⁠⁠But the hotel also boasts about its haunted rooms and historic charm. I made the mistake of reading the ghost story on the menu of the basement restaurant (which was delicious by the way). Turns out this place is labelled as one of the most haunted in the state, with half a dozen spirits being known to haunt the building. ⁠⁠Our room had tall 20-foot tin ceilings, burgundy painted wood floors, and a terrifying rocking chair in the corner. My mom and I were both chickens so we hoped that turning on the tv would help soothe us to sleep. ⁠⁠Nope, the TV only had static. so we had to sleep with the light on. and we were out of there by 5:30 the next morning.⁠⁠Would you sleep in a haunted hotel?⁠⁠📍 Unrelated picture of Oxtongue River Ragged Falls Provincial Park, where I tried not to freak myself out walking in the dark. ⁠⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠•⁠#FindYourselfHere #OntarioParks #OntarioTravel #RaggedFalls #AlgonquinHighlands #MyHaliburtonHighlands #ComeWander #MuskokaMoment #Muskoka #TheBestOfCanada #WildCanada #WomenWhoExploreOntario #WaterfallsForDays #WaterfallPhotography #WanderMore #OntarioNature #MoodyVibes #FallColours #FallColoursCanada #FallColoursOntario #FallFoliage #Fall2021 #OctoberFeels #SpookySzn
