Lake Lauzon - Blind River, Ontario, Canada

Lake Lauzon is twenty miles in length, yet rarely exceeds a half mile in width.

After an excellent dinner in Blind River with Lake Lauzon in the background we continued our homeward bound trip easterly. Some twenty miles later we spotted the Lake Lauzon Resort. A stop was necessary to question our minds. Same lake, but never seen it since Blind River.
Booked the night at the B&B and had an exceptional stay, a Finnish Sauna, terrific Sunset and another place to return to. PS. Had a fabulous breakfast!

Scarborough Cliffs - Ontario, Canada

The Scarborough Bluff's are unusual as they are located on the shores of Lake Ontario. They are quite different from the normal landscape.

After viewing the Cliffs we walked back along the Lake Ontario shoreline and were blocked by the Canadian Geese! A slight detour let us finish the excursion at a good restaurant at the Marina harbor.

Robertson Cliff Hikiing Trails - Scenic Falls

The Robertson Cliffs have excellent trails, yet for a unique experience, visit the Falls on the opposite side of the trail head. Unmarked trail on the north side of parking lot but you should be able to hear the falls. Near Harmony Beach.

The Story behind the picture

A very difficult hike across from the trail head where one has to decend a 250 foot drop to the Robertson river. It is not just the drop as it is quite a steep incline. Once there the beauty of the falls and surrounding sights make up for that descent, however, one must get back up the gorge.

The Story behind the pictures

Almost yearly a mini vacation is taken to experience one of nature`s wonderful gifts.  With Lake Superior nearby this area has an abundance of exceptional scenic qualities.
  
John`s Comments
The beautiful colors of the fall hardwood trees have no borders and this is one that requires sharing. There is some beautiful natural scenery in the area and that includes driving along the Lake Superior shore.

John`s Recollections
The drive north of Sault St. Marie to Searchmont could almost be considered a perfect road trip. Fall colors are miraculous and it is easy to see why many travel to Sault Ste Marie and take the fall folliage train ride during mid September to mid October.

The Story behind the picture

Hard not to include this as a favorite location to visit. Shared by two countries with many common desires. 
The water flowing over these falls is impossible to fully estimate in one`s mind, however the sight is beyond compare. The "Maid in the Mist" at times actually disappears from sight as it moves closer to the base and rainbows caused from the water flow are regular in appearance.
