September Solitude. Hiking Algonquin Parks Highland Backpacking Trail.

Hi folks!!! I'm Tosh and in this video, I embark on a solo adventure, hiking Algonquin Park's Highland Trail. Join me as I explore the rugged wilderness, camp overnight, and encounter unexpected challenges and wildlife.

I'll take you through the beauty of the trail, setting up camp in the heart of nature, and the comforting crackle of a campfire beneath the starry night sky. You'll also witness an unfortunate mishap where I accidentally slip and break my camera, capturing my genuine response to the situation.

But it's not all misadventures; you'll be mesmerized by the captivating wildlife and the beauty of the natural environment I encountered along the way.

Sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in the beauty and unpredictability of Algonquin Park. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more exciting outdoor adventures!

I did this trail with my dad in the late 80's. We went clockwise, which gave me the chance to shorten or three days to the smaller loop. It was a great idea. We had a cow moose go through and we were certain that a black bear blocked our path, until we figured out that it was a tree stump next to the deeply shaded path. Thanks for bringing us such joy.

Great scenery as always!! We always do walking tacos after a long day of kayaking! It’s become a tradition in our family! Love the van set up, absolutely gives you more flexibility! Great content as always, thanks for sharing!

I just got back from a trip on this trail yesterday! The scenery was gorgeous with the fall colours.

Tosh; thank you for this one. You make beautiful wilderness scenery videos. Your work is very good and among the best coming out of Ontario. I watch all of your trips. Looking forward to the fall/winter trips. Best regards to you. Greg / CT USA

Great video Tosh. That van is amazing. I’ve done that trail many years ago. You had good weather. Thanx for sharing

September is a great time for hiking for sure. Dad and I will be hiking around Silent Lake this week. He’s in way better shape than I, however I’m really looking forward to it. Bummer about your camera, good you didn’t get hurt. Thanks for sharing!!

Hi Tosh! Thanks for sharing your adventures

[markasiala]

I seen a lot of canoeing trips in Algonquin but not as many hiking trips. I really enjoyed this videos and the trails looked nice. I feel like a trip there has to be on my bucket list and a hike might be a good way to ease into it, especially outside of bug season!

[KUEHLKUEST]

Man!! That sucks about your camera!! The hike looked great!! Great camp spot as well!! Cheers!! J & C

[kristingrounds]

What a beautiful hike! Sorry about the camera and tripod....that sucks! But you still got some awesome footage!

[wendyshick]

I really enjoyed your hiking video beautiful where you're at with all those trees I live in the high desert in California next to the Pacific Crest trail next to the Mexican border wish we had that many trees out here😊👍

[susanscully]

The music in the beginning was fantabulous!!! But all the music in this video was great. Also, loved the foot prints marking your path. Now for the important part....how far south are you going? Sorry for your fall but at least you weren't hurt.

Tosh, I’ve seen several YouTubers who either own a specialized trekking pole that has a camera mount already on it or, they have modified a regular trekking pole to mount their camera on. I understand the numerous benefits to having your camera on an actual tripod. I was just offering up an alternative/additional solution.
Since your fall, I think your camera is now identifying as a GoPro. That would explain the focusing issues 😆
PS. I love the boot prints on the map 👍🏻

[mikie]

Nice laid-back video Tosh, you're definitely not in shape lot of huffing and puffing pity about your camera hope it isn't too expensive to get fixed. Love the, calm lakes and beautiful red foliage, I half expected to see a Bigfoot or the mystery wolf.

[Evan_Le]

Damn Tosh sorry about the cam! I’m interested to know what your solution is. Looks like a great hike regardless

[RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

That was great 👍🏻
What shoes are those?? They look comfy
