Im finally back after a month of not posting! Did I go somewhere? ✈️ 🤔 ⁣ ⁣ Nope, I was just enjoying not having the pressure of feeling like I need to post. Instagram’s engagement and algorithm really suck lately and I needed a break. ⁣ It was so much better to interact with you guys instead! 💕⁣ ⁣ This weekend I visited Arrowhead provincial park and their famous skating trail! ⛸⁣ ⁣ 📌 Can you skate? Have you tried it? . . . . . . #arrowheadskatingtrail #arrowheadprovincialpark #travelcanada #travelontario #beautifuldestinations #beautifulontario #ig_canada #ig_ontario #winterwonderland #iceskater #travelwithmeaning #wintergetaway #forestphotography #forestbathing #foresttherapy #backpackwithme #dametraveler #naturephotography #nature_perfection #wildernessculture #hikergirls #wildernessnation #hikewithme #advancedselfie #nature_seekers
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!

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
