Bush Whacking Adventure Leads Us Up the Creek

The plan to visit Hidden Falls was quickly abandoned when this happened:

When Heather broke through the ice and diverted the flow of water we quickly changed plans and set out for another option.

The creek without a name near Moose River was calling us. We quickly left the skidoo path and made our way following close to the flowing water.

What a treat! I had not seen ice formations like these since I lived in Saskatchewan. These diamonds won’t last forever…

By the time we reached the point where the granite cliff met the creek’s edge and forced us to turn back the sun was warming up the forest floor. We broke through the crusty snow more often. We also noticed some of the lacey ice decorating various rocks in the water and along the edge had reduced in circumference… the big melt had begun.

Time for a couple more photos before we headed for the car. A fantastic morning hike through the forest with magical light, a photographer’s dream!

Wishing everyone a great weekend!
