Winter Camping at the top of a Canyon

A winter camping trip to the Barron Canyon in Algonquin Provincial Park. Having previously done this hike in the summer, it was great to gain perspective of what it looks like in the winter.

Winter camping offers a completely different perspective. If you are able to get over the cold temperatures, there are no bugs, no people and a silence like you have never heard before. This is the best part about winter camping especially in areas like the Barron Canyon which would normally be packed with people during the summer months.

Disclaimer: Algonquin Park does not allow you to camp on park trails in the winter. This is something we found out after the trip. Our understanding was that it was just designated campsites that you had to avoid. That being said, there are lots of other places along the escarpment that would be considered off the trail.
