Chasing the Milky Way: Stargazing in Northern Ontario
Day 1:
Sault Ste. Marie – God’s Country
After a long drive that saw me use a combination of the Outlander’s fully-EV and gas driving modes, I arrived at my first destination. The first day of my adventure began in Sault Ste. Marie, often referred to as “God’s country” for its rugged natural beauty. The nickname is no exaggeration—the vast, serene landscapes and the endless expanse of Lake Superior create an almost otherworldly feel. This was the perfect start to a journey dedicated to exploring the night skies.
From there, I got back into the comfortable confines of the Outlander PHEV and headed to Hiawatha Highlands, where I visited Crystal Falls, a waterfall that seems to flow endlessly, surrounded by the forested wilderness. It was the perfect way to connect with nature and unwind before what I hoped would be a night under the stars.
Day 2:
Stargazing at Hiawatha Highlands
The next morning, I awoke to the soothing sound of water rushing from nearby falls. Armed with a hot cup of java brewed on a coffee machine plugged into the Outlander PHEV’s 110-volt outlet, I took a moment to soak in the peaceful atmosphere at Hiawatha Highlands before packing up and heading out. I put the Mitsubishi into EV mode to enjoy the silent drive as I cruised toward my next destination. The clouds had cleared, and it was time to focus on the real reason for my journey: stargazing.
