This is a spring shot from some years ago taken in Algonquin Park. The river below is the Oxtongue River, which I showed you in other locations earlier in the month. The footbridge marks the beginning of the Western Uplands backpacking trail, which I have never been on even for a day hike, unless you count wandering a few metres on the other side of the bridge. The largest loop of the trail is eighty eight kilometres in total, with some shorter loops.
Tomorrow we'll see this spot again from another year, but roughly the same time of year.
I love this!
ReplyDeletewhat an inviting bridge :)
ReplyDeleteSuch an odd name for a river! It seems like a nice place for a walk. Though maybe not an 88 kilometer walk ;^)
ReplyDeletemakes me want to walk and walk!

I like this bridge...I'd be tempted to do a shorter, not the 88-mile one, walk, but are there bears in them thar woods?
ReplyDeletequite and nice !
ReplyDeleteYou have to get over some day to take a hike!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the kind of place where I'd like to hike.

@Tamera: that takes planning.
@Cloudia: a lovely quote!

@Bibi: oh, yes, there are bears, but as long as you know how to behave in bear country, they're not likely to be a problem.
@Massimo: thank you.
@Marianne: something to keep in mind.
@Revrunner: I know my dad has done a portion as a day hike.
@Hilary: at least on this day!
@Beth: when I took this shot, there were still patches of snow about.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a misty morning.

ReplyDeleteHmmm. I have only wandered a bit further than that bridge too! Maybe next spring I'll hike a bit further. :)
ReplyDeleteCalm and peaceful, my kind of place. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteIs that some snow still around? I like this image. Look chilly too.
ReplyDeleteSimple and very nice!
ReplyDeleteI bet it would look pretty in the fall.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of that bridge with a very nice composition.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to resist crossing the bridge, I think.
Still looks cold but what a pretty spot.

ReplyDeleteIf flowers adorn the bridge would be like Monet.
ReplyDeleteA behind the breastbone to feel the adventure. Fantastic place.
Nice bridge in this peaceful place.

@Tex: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Mariusz: I can see that.
@Karl: well, I was with friends, but there were a couple of other cars in the lot, so there must have been someone out on the trail.
@Cheryl: it is!
@Denise: it's definitely off the beaten track!
@Jen: it might look quite similar about now!
@Ciel: it does have that effect.
@Marleen: it's quite a good footbridge.
@RedPat: I should!

It looks lovely but I think I'd want to explore during warmer, friendlier weather!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool bridge.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, I think that would make for a wonderful trek. How many steps do you imagine that loop to be? Hummmm....
ReplyDeleteBon weekend,
Genie
