People on Reddit are the only people who don't know how to do anything for themselves. It's like reddit is the only site they can access. I see people asking for help with how to fix something. Watch YouTube. It's there.

"How do I buy tickets for a hockey game, it's my first time?"

Disgusting. Figure it out. Make a mistake and learn.

My dog and myself were stalked by a mountain lion up there, while trout fishing, it was not fun or exciting, it was very scary both for me, and the dog, the lion was on his turf, and was just waiting for me or the dog to make one mistake and he'd pounce. I held my fishing pole out between myself and the lion, and with the lion 20 feet away, my shaking hands managed to get the key in the hole in the door, as me and the dog leaped in the door with me slamming it on the lions face.

I was there last weekend. A few days after snowfall. Trails were quite snowy, but it was a sunny day.

If you do any intense hiking (steep), you won't need as many layers as you think, as you will SWEAT!

Been sunny this week though, so perhaps most of the snow has melted by now. Still, I certainly would recommend carrying shoe spikes and walking sticks to help your balance. I didn't have either, and while I did make it up a mountain, I mostly had to sit down and slide to come back down, else I risk slipping and hitting my head.

For anyone confused: Same name, different river.

Etymology is probably not the same however, as the Ontario Mississippi is a relatively small tributary of the Ottawa River, so the meaning is likely not the same “great water” as the other Mississippi.
