Canoe & Hike the Best of Algonquin

Canoe & Hike the Best of Algonquin

Sat, Aug 8, 10:00 AM
From Wilderness Union Toronto - Outdoor Adventure and Hiking Club
4.7

**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/canoe-hike-algonquin-26)** **We’ll be headed to Rock Lake in Algonquin Park for an adventure that will allow you to take in the stunning scenery from two perspectives: a floating canoe on the lake’s serene waters and atop an amazing rocky lookout point.** We’ll start with a quick canoe lesson onshore and then launch our boats into the lake and set off. We’ll cruise through crystal clear waters and follow the shoreline beneath dramatic granite cliffs. Keep your eyes on the western shore: if we’re lucky, we’ll be able to see ancient pictographs that are etched into the rock face near the southern end, which are amongst the oldest recorded evidence of Indigenous presence on these shores. Loons are also common out here, and moose have a habit of appearing at the marshy edges when you least expect them. We’ll eventually arrive at the Booth's Rock trailhead, where the trail climbs steadily through mixed boreal forest before breaking out onto an exposed granite ridgeline with views over Rock Lake, Whitefish Lake, and a sweep of unbroken Algonquin forest. The descent follows a long wooden staircase back into the trees, then traces the old Booth railway grade along the water's edge until we return to the trailhead. Plan for a full day of amazing nature. This is Algonquin at its best! **Highlights** **Rock Lake Cliffs:** The eastern shore drops its dramatic granite faces plunge straight into the water, creating a dramatic landscape.. Paddling beneath them puts the scale of these structures in perspective. **Sandy Beaches:** Discover lakeside sandy beaches contrasting the granite cliffs. **Booth's Rock Lookout:** Views over Rock and Whitefish lakes and hundreds of square kilometres of Algonquin forest. **Event cost: $100+HST (for explorer members) - $60 optional transport available.** **Register [here.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/canoe-hike-algonquin-26)** **About Wilderness Union** Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people. Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad. Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming! ***Learn more at our website [www.wildernessunion.com](https://www.wildernessunion.com/)***

After The Credits - The Odyssey

After The Credits - The Odyssey

Tue, Aug 18, 11:00 PM
From After The Credits - Film Club

For our inaugural gathering, we'll be discussing Christopher Nolan's latest film, The Odyssey. The idea is simple: watch the film before the meetup, then join us for a relaxed evening of conversation, debate, and drinks. We'll chat about what we loved, what we didn't, our favourite scenes, performances, themes, and whatever else the film inspires. Whether you're a lifelong cinephile, an occasional moviegoer, or someone simply looking to meet new people in Toronto, you're very welcome. There are no presentations, no homework, and no pressure to have the "right" opinion. The best discussions usually come from people seeing the same film in completely different ways. Discussion topics might include: 🎬 Favourite moments and performances 🎬 Themes and interpretations 🎬 Christopher Nolan's direction 🎬 How it compares to his previous films 🎬 Your rating and overall thoughts Most attendees will be meeting for the first time, so solo attendees are especially welcome. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for a conversation about one of the year's most anticipated films. See you there.
