  • I took a trip to a popular Ontario tourist destination called The Scenic Caves. Situated atop the Niagara Escarpment, a broad geological feature that spans the Great Lakes, it is beside the Blue Mountains ski resort region, just above the elegant town of Collingwood, overlooking the entire south end of Lake Hurons's Georgian Bay. including wasaga Beach, the world's longest freshwater beach. As to how this series of cracks and crevices formed, it appears that the top ridge of the escarpment had broken away but did not fully collapse, leaving hollowed out sections among the rock formations. The natives used this strategic area to preserve food with the cold temperatures that the deep crevices hold throughout most of the year and also as high ground for the defense of their territory.

      I know there's other things in that area that I've experienced, hopefully I'll revisit and cover them in the future. I'm pretty sure my 27 km hike at 10 years of age was in that region. I remember a mossy rocky area with cedars similar to the caves that I believe is close to there, I'm trying to figure out where though.

      Thank you! I'd like to do an Ontario nature tourism channel, but it's hard to get away with my busy schedule. Of course it costs gas to get out all thr time. I dont get much views on these videos, maybe my channel has to be specifically plabout these topics.

      You bet! Theres lots more to see in that area . I went last year but it was too late so I went to the river that feeds into that beach. I sent the drone up over a giant and dune at a bend in the river. I'll put it out this winter when I catch up on editing

    Hi Anthony, thank you for showing the Blue Mountain Caves. Just Beautiful! Wish I traveled more when I was able. I’ve been cave exploring and loved every minute.

      I will be back next year to see the other sights in that area. Gonna put out a video over winter about a 200 degree bend in the river that feeds the lake off that beach. The bed is a 100 ft or so sand dune. I went fishing there 20 years ago. I was trying to make the cave video last year but I got there too late so I took the drone to the river bend and just missed getting drone footage of a guy in a row boat catching a steelhead.

      It was late October but there was still lots of leaves, nice warm day. I love it here and wish to see as much as I can and I love making videos about them. We'll see what winter has to bring for a next nature tourism video. Interesting, so this is right up your alley then. I know there's another place called the Warsaw Caves...I just looked it up for the first time and It looks like a spot that I was thinking was in the same area as this video, somewhere I had been as a kid, but it's a totally different area. Looks like I have a date with the place!

      Looks like a fun hike around there. Full play & 👍. Some beautiful country. Is it a lot less busy during the week. I like the map reference. I like climbing those lookout towers. Merry Christmas

      I went exploring the trails as I totally missed most of the caves at the beginning and got to the intersection of the 550 mile Bruce Trail along the Niagara escarpment. I'm pretty sure it's less busy during the week, we're busy people here. I always wanted to know how people make a Google earth video out of the maps, so I tried it out. I knew you'd like that and had you in mind 🤣 I should've climbed the tower myself with the head cam on. I'm always regretting what I didn't do after the fact. Merry Christmas to you and your family

      Thanks man, it's nice that the price has come down, but now it's winter. I'll still try to do something when the snow makes it pretty.
