Forest Bathing at Wards Falls

The forest and waterfall were calling today… Wards Falls is always a great destination. My focus today was on contrasting and comparing the various stages of wildflowers and emergence of foliage.

The woodland trail was almost dried up reminding us of how much we need moisture to keep wildfires at bay.

This will be the last time this spring to explore this popular hike. The black flies are out in full force. Just look at the video I took of the falls… can you see the pesky black flies circling around me?

Make sure you pack your insect repellant (I swear by Atlantiks) and tote in some water. The slot canyon holds the heat and humidity. My friend decided to leave her water bottle in the car. She gladly accepted the extra water I carried in my pack😁.

Here are a few more favourite impressions from our forest bathing experience.

Hope you are enjoying a relaxing long weekend Saturday. Best wishes, Anna
