Aug. 7 ~ The Barron Canyon

The Barron Canyon is an amazing, but little-known, Geographical feature, near Pembroke.

The deep and steep walls were formed 11, 000 years ago when melting glaciers in Algonquin Park rushed to lower ground, gorging out the canyon.

 

It can be accessed by three-day canoe trip, a one day canoe trip, or a hike.

I have done all three, and all are marvelous. My favourite is to paddle through the canyon,

 feeling in awe of the solitude and the towering cliffs on both sides.
