July 28th to 29th :- Rainbow falls Provincial Park

Good bye to Wawa…it was a lot of fun…..despite the lack of promise initially….Back on the road for more long treacherous grades….and grand stone gateways……it really is scarier going downhill than up……both cos you don’t know what’s coming…and the fact that there’s a 30 foot trailer pushing us…!!!

Looking back at the pictures you really don’t get the sense of the grades…or just how BIG Ontario really is…!!! But it is…..what I also notice…is just how smokey it is …!!!!

And so to Rainbow Falls Provincial Park…our first camp at a Provincial Park….just the one night here..so we got set up quickly and set out for a trail hike to get our legs moving…big drive tomorrow…..

Set up…and take the cat for a walk outside..!!
Looked like a fairly easy walk…….

It turned into quite a phenomenal hike….not Bruce trail stuff….but some trekking across rocks…and the falls…well…..wow…!!!

I counted the stairs on the way back..181……it did not seem like that many on the way down……

Tougher hike than we had anticipated….and with a thunderstorm rolling in it was pretty humid…….so we hatched aplan on the way home….(shhhh…!!)

We found this great little secluded beach (weather was too unpleasant for anyone to be at the beach……)….and we both needed a bath…..!!

A bar of campers soap from the Lions Head farmers market soap lady…voila…the perfect skinny dip bath…….(highly recommended…!!😲)

Well worth the stop at this park….thoroughly enjoyable ……..but…the road goes ever onward………so time to get packed up and on the road again……

  1. Another great hike….the waterfalls are beautiful. Interesting to see the scrub brush of Norhtern Ontario on the rock at the top. Indeed, Ontario is a huge, and diverse province. You’ve had an amazing adventure so far….now on to the Prairies.

  2. beautiful Scott and Mho.
    Nice photos of the hike.
    John and I just purchased a bar of soap from a little shop in Maynooth.
    It claims it is a bar of soap for skinny dippers and it glows in the dark.
    The salesman could not tell us when you are all lathered up if you yourself in fact will glow in the dark. He could only tell us the bar will glow. So we figure it is worth a try.
    Will report back to you with the outcome.
    Cheers,
    Til next post
