Bon Echo Images

Dave and I are just finishing up a week of vacation, most of which we spent at Bon Echo Provincial Park in Ontario. We had a relaxing week, which included a day trip to the Haliburton area to visit some family members who were vacationing there. These are some of the sights we saw at Bon Echo.

The rugged, imposing face of Mazinaw Rock.


Another shot that includes some canoers and kayakers, just to get some perspective on how large Mazinaw Rock is.


This shot provides some perspective on how high the rock is. The photo cuts off less than halfway up the cliff.


This is an Algonquin pictograph that was painted onto the rock several hundred years ago.


Here's a broader view of Mazinaw Rock - it's a very impressive cliff.


This is a look at a small portion of Mazinaw Lake and the park from the top of the cliff. I ferried over to the cliff (a very brief ride), then hiked about two miles (round trip) up and down the cliff to see this view.


These were the trees located just behind our camp site.


And this is Dave, enjoying the sights on a perfect summer day.

beautiful. It was nice to see you two ... even if it was very brief.
