OK! So heading off to visit Algonquin Provincial Park I was excited at the prospect of at least seeing some wildlife. Algonquin is one of Canada's best known national parks. It was established in 1893 and is 7800 sq km in size. The Hwy 60 snakes through the centre of the park, enabling you to drive from the east to the west side of the park. Many people go hiking and canoeing during the summer. There is just so much to see here. Every turn, whether driving or walking presents you with such immense beauty, no matter what time of day. So back to the wildlife. Yes we travelled from the east to the west, and yes some hiking/walking was undertaken. However, to no avail the only wildlife I was fortunate enough to see were approximately fifteen chipmunks and three frogs. I suppose I will need to be patient. Still the beaver dams are just fascinating. And the spectacular beauty of Algonquin and its' history was just brilliant.
