Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park – Ontario, Canada
The canyon is believed to have formed when a diabase sill dating from a billion years earlier was split open, either by the weight of advancing ice sheets or the large volumes of water released during their retreat. Erosion by wind and rain continued the formation of the canyon. A group of rare, arctic-alpine plants inhabit the valley floor.

Video of Agawa Rock, Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario
The Agawa Rock pictographs are located on a rock outcropping extending into Lake Superior in Agawa Bay. Some paintings are at least 1500 years old, while others may only date back to the 1800s. “Agawa” means “sacred place” in the Ojibwe language. The Ojibwe believed that spirits concentrated in the rock outcroppings of the Lake Superior shore, which belonged to the mysterious domain of the powerful Ojibwe sea monster Mishipizheu (also known as the Great Horned Lynx). The first printed reference to the Agawa pictographs occurred in ethnographer Henry Schoolcraft’s 1851 study “The American Indians. Their History, Condition and Prospects.” The pictographs, recount the daring crossing of eastern Lake Superior by a fleet of war canoes, led by the warrior and medicine man Myeengun, with the blessing of Mishipizheu.
