I Found a New Love!

I have been on this journey of trying to find the things that I love and what makes me, well … me! I found my new love! I found something that makes me come alive and want to go all over the place just to find more of them.

Want to know what it is??????

Hiking trails! Did you guess it?

Today I went to Bon Echo and I saw all of the amazing things you can do there, like kayak, canoe, go on a ferry ride, camping and so much more! But then I also found the thing that I love even more. The 4.8 kilometre hike! It was off to the left so if you blinked you might miss it. It was a moderate hike, but it was perfect.

The ups and the downs, the rocks and stumps in the path made it even more exciting! I know it might not be for everyone, but for me. It was just what I needed and I actually felt like I was hiking. Not just going for a walk.

I was accompanied by a good number of bugs along the path, which I will better prepare for next time I decide to go on a hike, but it wasn’t too bad. I was the only one on the trail so I didn’t feel the need to small talk with anyone or to bring myself to smile if need be. I had no makeup on and it was just kind of perfect for me. I had a very hard week so getting away into nature and challenging myself was just what the doctor ordered.

I might have taken a wrong turn or two and also debated going back as I thought I wouldn’t make it all the way through. But the trail was actually perfectly marked with yellow, orange and blue signs so it was actually great! I don’t always have the best directions, so having it so clearly marked was actually perfect for me.

There is something about getting out in nature that I love! I have always loved the outdoors, walking and exercise of any form, but this was just perfect. I will defintely be going back to check out the other trails and other things that are available there.

For today, I didn’t want to be around people so I decided to go to the road less traveled and it did not disappoint! Definitely a 5 out of 5 if you want to go on a hike that will give you a good challenge, but is also well marked out! I am definitely going to bring bug spray next time, but other than that it was great!

Also, a side note! How have I never been to Bon Echo Provincial Bark before! It is absolutely beautiful! The whole surrounding area is also gorgeous! I went for a little drive while I was there as well and it was gorgeous!

If you have time you should definitely check it out! My friend and I want to go back and do some canoeing or kayaking! Will keep you updated as I check out new places and do new things!

Cheers
