Agawa Canyon Tours: Photos Fall 2010
More Agawa Canyon tours pictures from one of the fall colours trips of 2010. At least two days of the tour season were lost in 2010 because heavy rains caused flooding and land slips onto the track. This is still pretty wild country, even in the 21st Century.
This is a photos page so I'm not going to say much except describe the images. This first is of the fall colors as the train headed out from Sault Ste Marie early one October morning.
The Agawa Canyon Train tour passes a number of lakes as it heads north. On a clear, calm day, the leaf reflections seem to smoulder like embers in the water.
The lakes have much fewer cottages than lakes further south. This is 'cottage country' as it used to be. Here a cottage and dock nestle in a quiet backwater awaiting next season.
The Park, we're told, has plenty of wildlife but we didn't see any. According to the train staff, it's because the noise of the engine scares them all away.
They may have a point. A freight train passed through the canyon while we were there and the noise of its diesels, and the clanking, grinding of metal-on-metal, echoed around the canyon. It was enough to frighten humans and we know what it is.
By late afternoon the sinking sun casts a reddish glow over the leaves and casting many of the lakes into shadow. It's a beautiful, restful twilight time so different from the bright golden morning light.
