I was not expecting such a big market! It just kept going. There was a great mix of wares for sale and quite a bit of space between the sellers. I purchased a photo from a photographer I had followed for years. What a treat! The temperature was too hot to fully enjoy the morning so we hope to return!

Decided to take a drive to the Viking Statue today. Incredible views and history at this location. Some great info about families that have lived here and the history of it. Easy to walk around here and benches to sit and relax while looking out into the lake.

I completed this hike on the morning of June 20 2020. I arrived at 7:30 AM and was the first one there and enjoyed having the entire trail to myself for most of the hike (just passed a few groups on the way back). When I returned to the parking lot at 10:30, it was starting to fill up but the trail didn't feel busy at all on my way back. The hike begins on a wide path through the forest and arrives at a junction. I always take the trail to the right (the self-guiding 2.7 km one), as it's more scenic and interesting in the terrain. The other path is a wide, straight trail through the forest that also arrives to the first rapids and there is no elevation on that one. The scenic trail travels through a mix of forest and climbs over the rocky face of the Shield. There is a short, offshoot trail leading to a lookout point along the way, where there were beautiful views of the forest! There were quite a few muddy sections of the trail as you get closer to the first rapids... Make sure to bring extra socks and wear waterproof footwear! At the first rapids, there is a small warming hut with a wood stove. It's a nice place to enjoy a snack! There's also picnic tables on the rocks. The rapids were beautiful! The second loop is 2.8 km and is lesser traveled than the first section of trail and it's my favourite portion of the hike as it is very scenic! This section is slightly more challenging with more ups and downs over the rocks. It leads to Acorn Falls first and then Viburnum Falls. Both are gorgeous and offer pretty views! There were some fallen trees across the trail at various points, but they were easy to navigate. The mosquitoes were absolutely HORRENDOUS when I hiked here. I had to wear my bug head net to escape their attacks. Would highly recommend lots of bug spray and a bug net if you have. It was definitely helpful. There is an outhouse at the beginning of the trail and at the first rapids. I hiked the full 9 km loop and it took me roughly 3 hours to complete with some photo/snack stops along the way. Pine Point is one of my favourite hikes in the Whiteshell and I love the variety of terrain and landscapes and pretty views along the way. The natural beauty is amazing.

We were here for the bears. As we were looking for things to do while waiting for a flight we drove along this road. Pretty scenic last fall and white out wonderland picture in winter. We saw a bear huddling in a snow bank, our first bear.

The manitoba legislative building was designed by a Freemason. It has hidden secrets that are revealed by the historian Dr. Frank Albo, on one of the most interesting and entertaining tours of architecture you will ever attend. Highly recommended! We booked through Heartland Travels.

Discover a green oasis in the heart of Winnipeg. This nine-acre (3.6 hectare) park, which encompasses open green spaces and tree-lined walkways, is a national treasure owned and operated by Parks Canada. Enlightening interpretive displays, inspiring sculptures, stone pictographs and ceremonial bronze gambling sticks embody the Site’s rich continuum of historical events that span over 6,000 years.

So much history! So much to see! It is a little sad that the European influence dominates and overshadows the Indigenous Americans', which is much older, richer and more sacred. Many interesting plaques and artefacts from both eras to be seen. I prefer the outdoor displays - the Wall Through Time and Oodena Celebration Circle - and of course quiet walks along the river-walk. It is worth spending an entire day, if that is enough time to see it all. Definitely worth visiting again and again.

I visited the Bannock Point Petroforms for my first time this weekend. This is a historical site that is a sacred area for Indigenous peoples. From the parking area, it was a short walk through the forest to arrive at a wide open area on the rocky landscape surrounded by forest. There were various collections of the formations made with large rocks that were scattered around the area. There wasn't really a designated trail once you get to the open area, but there were pieces of cloth tied to the trees to guide you through. The formations resembled turtles, humans and snakes and are believed to be prehistoric and left behind by Indigenous peoples long ago. People had left various offerings of cloth, wood carvings, tobacco, plants and coins on a large rock near the trailhead and around the various formations. It was really interesting to wander around this area and appreciate the formations and the people who created them. It was very peaceful and serene here. Please be respectful of the area, as it is a sacred site. It is encouraged to bring an offering. There was some background information on the trailhead sign, but I am interested to do my own research and learn more about the history and stories of this place. Would recommend visiting!

Part of "the Forks" development, this buzzing fresh and specialty foods emporium has the feel of an outdoor market, but is actually indoors. Open year-round, it offers an array of ethnic delicacies and crafts, plus four full service restaurants.
