Gatineau Park


With the extra hour we gained today, Joe and I went to Gatineau Park this morning, hoping to grasp the last bit of the vibrant color of the fall leaves. When we drove to the vistor center's parking, we noticed that the road going uphill was closed. We parked at the parking lot, and began to hike up. We were at least three weeks late and we missed the magnificient fall leaves. Most of the leaves have fallen off the trees.

We hiked for about an hour and a half, and did not even make it to Lac Pink. We then turned around and headed to Chinatown for dim sum.

Though we did not see the vibrant color of the fall leaves, we were surrounded by the nature. It was quiet, peaceful and tranquil. The air was fresh, and it definitely brings forth the signs of winter.

It makes me wonder.... am I ready for the winter?
