Have you ever encountered elitists while trip planning? 💎✈️ ⁣ Elitists are essentially people who think that there is only one way to travel, hike or experience something and they can be a big pain in the ass. 😤 ⁣ ⁣ They see whats on the surface and make snap judgement about the type of person you are, without getting to know the situation. They aren't helpful 🚫.⁣ ⁣ This mindset does nothing but deter otherwise interested people from travelling in a way that makes them happy. ⁣ ⁣ I move to start calling em travel snobs but thats just my jaded opinion 😂⁣ ⁣ Thoughts? ⁣ . . . . . . . #travelhappy #iamtb #travelblogger #dowhatmakesyouhappy #hikergirl #hikemore #monocliffsprovincialpark #hikehappy #happypeoplehike #travelcanada #canadagram #forestvibes #autumnhike #travelontario #autumncolors🍁 #forestchild #wildernessculture #wildernessnation #adventureisoutthere #adventureawaits #travelwithme
🌈⭐️ Did you know?.....⁣ ⁣ 🇨🇦 Southern Ontario has 100’s (if not 1000’s) of beautiful hiking trails and the majority are within 1-3 hour drive from Toronto? ⁣ (And dont even get me started on Northern Ontario 🌲🥾)⁣ ⁣ So what are you waiting for? Get outside! ⁣ . . . . . . . #hikergirl #hikerlife #autumnvibes🍁 #autumnleaves #autumncolors🍁 #canadagram #canadatravel #travelontario #monocliffsprovincialpark #fallhike #wildernessculture #wildernessnation #exploretheearth #explorewithme #backpackwithme #forestvibes #ig_canada #travblogger #iamtb #travelwithme #travelhappy #lovenaturesbeauty #naturelover #nature_pics
Mono Cliffs is one of the best and closest provincial parks to Toronto! It makes the best day trip! 🍁 ⁣ Learn more about Mono Cliffs and other places to check out in my Canada story highlight on my profile! 🇨🇦 . . . . . . . #hikergirl #hikerbabes #hikealldamnday #autumnvibes🍁 #autumnleaves #fallcolors #monocliffsprovincialpark #hikeontario #hikecanada #canadagram #travelontario #travelcanada #exploretheoutdoors #wildernessculture #wilderness #adventureisoutthere #adventurelife #explorer #iamtb #travelblogger #naturephotography #naturescape #naturelovers #advancedselfie

Mono cliffs is just a short drive from Toronto and the trails are super easy to access with markings along the trail and maps at the beginning! Its also a nice alternative to dundas peak for autumn colours (my second favourite thing about autumn 🍂 ⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ 📌Do you experience autumn where you are? . . . . . . #fallhiking #autumnhike #monocliffsprovincialpark #travelontario #travelcanada #canadagram #fallbeauty #hikergirl #hikealldamnday #hikemore #wildernessculture #wildernessadventure #travelwithme #wildernessvibes #forestbathing #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_perfection #iamtb #travelblogger #hikersofinstagram #getoutside #getoutstayout #forestvibes #ig_canada #ig_ontario
One of my favourite things on trail hikes (surprisingly) is the smell of wet leaves. 💧🍂 ⁣ ⁣ 📌What is your favourite thing about autumn hikes?⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #monocliffsprovincialpark #monocliffs #autumnhike #fallcolors #travelcanada #travelontario #canadagram #canada_pic #hikemore #hikemoreworryless #travelwithme #hikewithme #hikergirl #wildernessculture #wildernessadventure #adventureisoutthere #naturelover #nature_perfection #iamtb #travelblogger
Im a huge advocate for fall camping 🍁 ⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ Just because the weather is getting cold doesn’t mean you should hole up in your bed watching Netflix 💻 (im also guilty of this from time to time).⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ With the right amount of layers and a thermos of hot chocolate you can still get out and experience nature! 🌲 ⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ Thoughts? . . . . . . #hikeeverydamnday #hikergirl #hikeontario #backcountrycamping #hikeeverywhere #getoutstayout #getoutside #h#getoutandexplore #kawarthahighlandsprovincialpark #campingincanada #travelontario #travelcanada #canadagram #fallcampingtrip #campinglife #nature_good #nature_pics #wildernessculture #wildernessadventure #adventureisoutthere
Sustainability while camping or trekking is one of the hardest skills to master 💪⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ 🌍 You have to think about every aspect of the trip ⁣ - are you packing out everything you bring in? 🍎⁣ - are you camping in a habitat, or around delicate plant life? 🌱 ⁣ - if you shower/wash dishes, are you using biodegradable soap? 🧼 ⁣ - are you starting and putting out your fire correctly? 🔥 ⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ Im guilty of not thinking about many things on this list, but its not about being perfect. Its about sharing your mistakes so others can learn and grow as well 🌲 . . . . . . . #nature_pics #nature_of_our_world #forestbathing #canoecamping #canoelife #adventureisoutthere #naturelover #wildernessadventure #wildernessculture #travelontario #camperlife #fallcamping #lakesideview #canadianwilderness #travelcanada #canadagram #hikergirl #kawarthalakes #backcountry #getoutstayout #hikeeverydamnday #getoutside #hikeeverywhere
Nothing makes me feel more at home quite like back country camping 🏕 ⁣ ⁣ This fall @evergilly and I were able to get out for a quick back country camping/canoeing trip before all the gross weather hit. We didn’t see many fall colors, but canoeing on the lake made it all worth it.⁣ 🍁 ⁣ 📌Have you ever tried backcountry camping (camping in the middle of nowhere)? . . . . . . #hikeeverydamnday #hikeverywhere #getoutside #getoutstayout #backcountrycamping #kawarthalakesprovincialpark #campingincanada #canadianwilderness #hikergirl #backpackwithme #thegreatoutdoors #canada_gram #travelcanada #travelontario #fallcamping #camperlife #wildernessculture #wildernessadventure #adventureisoutthere #forestbathing #naturelover #nature_good #nature_pics
