Arrowhead Park hosted their first Fire and Ice Night of the winter on their famous 1.3 km long Ice Trail on Saturday, January 14. It’s one of the region’s most popular winter attractions, and one of the province’s most sought-after winter ‘bucket list’ experiences.<\/p>\n
It was a perfect night with temperatures at minus five, no rain and a clear sky. The trail was lit up with over 100 tiki torches along with two roaring campfires at the rest stop.<\/p>\n
It was definitely the place to be whether with family, friends, loved ones or on your own. Crowds were gathering in the parking lots with bags and toboggans, by the rest area and along the roads with some families loading up strollers to take young children along. Arrowhead encourages everyone to bring their family and watch their kids whip around the track with the perfect backdrop of snow-covered evergreens, or surprise your loved one with a romantic, hand-holding skate through the forest day or evening.<\/p>\n
Looking through the crowd, not many locals were to be seen but there was an abundance of distant visitors to the area who came to experience the beautiful trail at night, to warm up by the campfire and even roast marshmallows and share hot chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
