North Shore: Temperance River Gorge

Our hike through Temperance River Gorge took us near quite a few cliffs…enough to give me a few nightmares of Caleb jumping off cliffs and Sophia sliding down waterfalls as if she were going down a slide.  In reality, the kids did wonderfully and loved seeing all the falls.  We thought about hiking further up the trail to Carlton Peak, but opted to wade across the river and take a different trail back.

On this vacation, I loved being able to take a leisurely hike and still be able to see something.  A lot of the waterfalls or points of interest were accessible for even a three-year-old.  We’d have breakfast, pack lunch, hike, have a picnic lunch at our destination, possibly play in the water, hike back, and possibly even have time for a nap.  I enjoyed the slower pace and the quiet trails as well as playing with my kids instead of trying to get something else done.

Love all of this! Looks like a lovely vacation. Maybe your next one needs to be in the Carpathian mountains. ;)
