CANADANiagara Falls may be the biggest and perhaps the most famous attraction, but it’s certainly not the only picturesque place in Canada! It’s said that over 80% of our country is uninhabited, so this means a whole lot of untouched beauty in every corner of the Great White North. In this edition, we list some of our own natural wonders and why you should definitely add them to your bucket list!

You know you live in Canada when..Someone in Home Depot offers you assistance... and they don’t even work there!
This grove of twisted, bent, and crooked aspen trees near Hafford must be seen to be believed. Genetic mutation? A crashed meteorite? The work of aliens? It’s all been speculated, but who knows! See the truly eerie sight for yourself in order to arrive at your own conclusion!

Niagara Falls, a spectacular waterfall in the Niagara River, is the world’s greatest waterfall by volume at 2832 m3. It is split in two by Goat Island. The American Falls are 59 metres high and 260 metres wide and carry about 10% of the flow. The Canadian, or Horseshoe Falls, are 54 metres high and 670 metres wide, with the remaining 90% of the flow. An awesome spectacle that you must see!

A 300 km highway and scenic road along the Cape Breton Island coastline is easily one of the best road trips you’ll ever experience. More than just fantastic scenery, you can experience whale watching, salmon fishing, biking, hiking, camping, and probably a whole lot of photography!
An incredible sight — huge limestone formations in this national park reserve are positively enchanting. Over 1000 islands and islets to explore using the many nature trails... where you’ll discover unique flora and seabird colonies. Pretty neat,eh?
Take a boat to the Sunshine Coast to enjoy this small, picturesque area on the south side of Sechelt Peninsula near Secret Cove. The area can be accessed by land, however it’s a 4 km hike from a parking lot off Highway 101. Beautiful!
A jaw-dropping beauty located in Banff National Park. Its spectacular shade of blue-green lake and the reflection of the forest and peaks of the rockies make it a must visit. Only 4 hours from Toronto, the park welcomes explorers of all ages to
uncover its natural wonders and especially its clear-water lakes.
Canada has an extremely large number of lakes and no official estimated number of smaller lakes!
561 of our lakes have a surface area larger than 100 square kilometers!
5 Major Canadian summit peaks exceed 5,000 metres (16,404 ft.) elevation,19 peaks exceed 4,000 metres (13,123 ft.), 67 peaks exceed 3,000 metres (9,843 ft.),
and 125 major summits exceed 2,500 metres (8,202 ft.) elevation.
The Canada National Parks Act enables Parks Canada, an agency under the government, to designate,
maintain, and regulate protection of natural areas.
Since you’re near Moraine Lake, why not drop by another stunning turquoise and glacier-fed lake in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains?! Rock flour flows into the lake which gives it its incredible blue colour.
Due to high concentrations of iron oxides in the rocks and soil, you’ll find sandstone, mudstone, and beaches alike coloured an amazing shade of red throughout this area of Prince Edward Island.
National Geographic named Gwaii Haanas as one of the places you must visit in the world... and we agree! It is steeped in spirituality and revered by the Haida who protect it, in respect of their ancestors. A beautiful remote landscape with lush rainforests and ancient carved poles.
This UNESCO world heritage site in the Northwest Territories offers up 30,000 square kilometers of Canadian beauty. Just look at this view!
Often called one of Canada’s most picturesque national parks. This is especially evident during the fall, when the colours are absolutely breathtaking! See it for yourself one day!
An Inuit homeland where you can experience spiritual and cultural sites. The name comes from the Inuktitut name for a powerful Inuit spirit believed to dwell in these mountains.
There are many great trails in Yoho National Park, but we believe the Iceline Trail is a must. You will be blown away with the views on this 21 km trek — it makes sense the word “Yoho” comes from a Cree expression of awe and wonder!
