On two days I took to exploring the dog sled trails in
Algonquin. These have got to be the best kept secret of
Algonquin in the winter. PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to hike
these trails, you must wear snowshoes or skis unless the
trails are very hard packed or frozen. Please avoid punching
holes in the trail with your boots. |

Here I am in my winter
"super coat". It was quite cold these two days, with highs
about -15C. Yet I was quite comfortable, even
while standing still for a time. |

Typical dog sled trail through
frozen muskeg. Keep alert for sounds of dog sleds or
snowmobiles coming along the trail. Snowmobiles are used by
scientific researchers and park staff (the public is not
allowed to use snowmobiles in the Park). |

A lunch break campfire, photo
courtesy of my hiking friend for the day. The rest of my
time in Algonquin was spent exploring and tracking on my
own. |

Later afternoon on the trail,
once again through muskeg (boggy area). |
