It was a beautiful day in the Ottawa area today, so we decided to head up to Gatineau Park for a hike. We chose to do the Wolf Trail, as we have not been hiking on it for some time.
As we are training for hiking trips to Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland and Machu Picchu in Peru, we carried fully-loaded backpacks, despite the fact that we did not need rain gear or extra water today.
Even though is was mid-week, we met several people on the trail, including two couples from the UK and three girls from Spain.
We forgot to bring out swimsuits, which meant that we were not able to take advantage of nearby Meech Lake. Note to self: next time!

| Fortunately, the signage in Gatineau Park is pretty good. It is hard to get lost. |
