[ Fall Scenery Pics ] from Algonquin Park, ON ;)

Last sunday, we went to a small town called Dorset, which is near Algonquin Park, Ontario..Its a few hours north of Toronto (where I live) ;) In Dorset, there was a very tall tower thing that people can go up to and see for miles & miles away. There were alot of small ponds around the area, and the view was just gorgeous :D Anyways, I have some pics to show you all :p

It was pretty scary climbing up lol. It was soo high & when there was wind it was kinda shaking..

The tower was taller than all the trees! (We walked all the way up to the box thing up there)

More pics coming..

There were these huge binocular things in front of the lake, and when you look through at exactly the right position, you see this :p

Beautiful pictures! I want to move!
I love scenic photos and Tree lined country roads are my absolute favorites.
I actually collect them.
Was this taken near Dorset?

Breathtaking view from up that tower!! I would NEVER dare to go up....! And if I would anyway, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to get back down :eek:
Those woods are huge!! I think it is very easy to get lost there....!

lol getting down was soo much scarier than going up. Some people were practically sitting on the steps & going down one at a time :p

Great pics! :)

My cottage is in the same area, just a little south east of that location. I've been going up there for many years but have never been to Dorset. After seeing these pics I'll have to make sure to go by there to check out the sights.

If you want another neat area to visit check this out (same area as Dorset):
Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve

Thanks for sharing!

Algonquin Park is so beautiful! I wish I had a cottage there..

heh yea my dad wanted to go to the Haliburton place on the same day, but we didn't have time. We were gonna see the Wolf thing they have. We might go in the winter though.
