For part of our holidays we went to Waskesiu in Prince Albert National Park. We go there every summer for a week, it’s become our family tradition. This year the weather started out nice but it sort of crapped out mid week. It then got really beautiful the day we were packing up but that’s the way camping goes sometimes.
The great thing about Waskesiu is you can always find something to do no matter what the weather. For one of our activities we decided on a hike called The Narrows Peninsula or what we refer to as the fern hike. It’s an easy hour long hike, perfect for the kids.
It was so quiet and lush and peaceful.
It was nice to look at so many different types of mushrooms. How perfect is this yellow smurf house! (and probably deadly).
The lake was calm and stunning.
One thing about being in the wilderness is you never know who you might run into. Etienne spotted this guy when he was already way too close…
We picked up the pace quite a bit at this point especially since we had four snack sized children with us. The bear went down for a drink in the lake then followed us a little while before finally veering off.
Definitely worth checking out if you’re up there.
