This week’s adventure took me just across the river to Gatineau Park, where I stretched my legs on the King Mountain Trail before the rain rolled in.
Even with the road closures and traffic delays, the hike was absolutely worth it. The trail was dry and welcoming, the air crisp, and the leaves are only just starting to blush with autumn colour—hinting at the brilliant show to come.
We dressed for the early morning frost ❄️, only to shed layers once the sun warmed things up—a perfect reminder that fall is on its way, but summer hasn’t quite let go just yet.
It was a refreshing reminder of how much beauty lies right in our backyard. Sometimes adventure doesn’t mean boarding a plane—it’s simply stepping onto a trail close to home.
