On Thanksgiving Monday my friend Dave and I drove up to the Barron Canyon for a look around and down. The oaks and other hardwoods on the drive there were if full colour and looked amazing.

The Barron Canyon, part of Algonquin Park, is a spectacular place at anytime of the year although I’ve only seen it without snow on the ground.

This was Dave’s first time there and really didn’t know what to expect. The descriptive booklet provided by the park says the canyon is 100 meters deep. A hundred meters is not that far when measured on level ground but takes on a whole new meaning when looking straight down to the rocks and water below. Understandably we were both cautious when peering over the cliffs edge.
