Hike the Talus Trail to the Black Beaver Falls, Northern Ontario

On a stopover during a scenic train trip through Agawa Canyon Park in northern Ontario, we took a hike on the Talus Trail to 175-foot Black Beaver Falls.

It was raining heavily when we started walking. But when we reached the falls, it stopped just long enough to photograph the spectacular cascade, one of three in the park. It was well worth the wet walk!
