With all the heart breaking news reports and difficult conversations taking place at this moment, it kinda feels like a good time for a walk in the woods. About a month ago, we were in Ottawa, with a day all to ourselves. We opted to leave the city behind and explore Gatineau Park. Come along, and I’ll show you a little of what we saw ………
This conservation park covers 361 square peaceful kilometres of land, but is just 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa. It is popular with locals and visitors alike, apparently attracting 2.7 million visits a year. But on this day we were lucky…. It was a chilly, damp Monday and the place was relatively quiet, but as you can see, still very beautiful.
After a couple of hours of exploring, we made our way to the Mackenzie King Estate, a country property of the former prime minister, bequeathed to all of Canada. It’s now part of the Park.
It seemed like the right thing to do, so we finished off with a warming visit to the Tea Room.
