Road Trip to Collingwood and Owen Sound

Remember when you were a kid and there was always that one unplanned trip with your folks that turned out to be the most memorable.  Or the trip that started out the worst you know the large cottage rental that was actually a one room shack and no working stove ending up being the best?

I've experienced a lot of those memories.  It makes you realize that it's not really what you have or where you go, it's who you're with that make these memories stick.


My partner and I went on yet another road trip ..which I planned weeks in advanced, but we ended up not sticking to the plan anyways and we still had a great time.

DAY 1

Started out early on Sunday morning with our car rental and headed northwest to Collingwood to Kiticho Sushi All You Can Eat.  No breakfast for us, we were saving it up for lunch!

 Once we finished stuffing our face we booked ourselves into the 2 night motel and got ready to check out the first planned attraction in the Blue Mountains of Collingwood known as "Nordic Caves!"

Nestled atop the Niagara Escarpment in Collingwood, Ontario, Scenic Caves Nature Adventures offers a captivating blend of natural beauty and outdoor activities. There were several caves and caverns that were formed over 450 million years ago!



Although we were there in July, apparently this place transforms into quite a different look int he winder months where they got their name Nordic which features
27 kilometers of professionally maintained cross-country ski trails suitable for both classic and skate skiing, winding through a serene 200-year-old forest. Snow-shoers can enjoy 8 kilometers of dedicated trails, including routes leading to Southern Ontario's longest suspension footbridge, which offers panoramic views of Georgian Bay.  After all this is in the famous Mountains, right?

More than the caves, I was more impressed with he swing bridge to which it seemed at one point, my husband would not come across.  When it looked like I was going on without him and would miss the entire experience he decided to take the walk across the roped romp and we met together at the other end.



DAY 2

The next day would be dedicated to Water falling in Owen Sound which has an abundance of them.  Today we would see Inglis Falls, Indian Falls and Jones Falls all located within minute of each other.


We did a lot of hiking and walking in the morning then, went to the Okinawa Sushi in Owen Sound. You can find our write up on this website, my clicking on the http://aycetoronto.blogspot.ca/

Today we lost a lot of calories, relieved a lot of the stress from work and city living and gained a few more memories.  

You don't have to spend a lot of money, or time lining up for air travel, or going through customs. If you just need a breather you'll find with a little initiative you can explore your own country and find what you're looking for.
