AT, what's the date of that Madawaska "falls" pic? I've never seen such little water there!
Spicol, I think that pic is from my first trip on that trail back in October 2005.
In regards to the Algonquin trails being boring: Well, I agree they lack the spectacular vistas you would find in a more mountainous terrain but they have a beauty all their own.
Sammy, this being your first backpacking endeavour, keep it to a single loop even if you're 25 and in great condition. You'll have a great time.
Killarney is beautiful but La Cloche Silhouette Trail is a 7-10 day trip - not something you want to try your first time out.
Being your first time, why don't you post about the gear and food you plan to bring. Many here can help you pare it down to the essentials. Backpacks have a magical ability to get heavier and heavier as you go along.
And, yes, Corky is always up to the occasion.
