Ontario Provincial Parks

Ontario Parks – Ten Camping Gems You Don’t Want to Miss

By //  by Candace Sampson 3 Comments

I'm going to straight up admit that in the past, when it came to Ontario Parks,I was a camping snob. I'm not proud of it, particularly after a recent trip to check out four of them this past fall, but there it is, my camping elitism laid bare for all to see. The good thing though is my views have completely flipped, and I am looking forward to checking out even more of them this coming summer.  Ontario Parks not only sit on some of the most scenic and beautiful real estate in the …

Rocky Mountaineer

The Journey Is the Destination Aboard Rocky Mountaineer

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

The best advice I could give to anyone before they step onboard the Rocky Mountaineer, is to put the camera down and enjoy the ride. I have 810 pictures from my three days travelling with Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff, and not one of them do it justice. It is simply impossible to capture the beauty that surrounds you along every stretch of track on this magnificent journey, which is why the Rocky Mountaineer consistently hits the top of bucket lists the world …

By //  by Anne Radcliffe Leave a Comment

Did you know: there's over 100 waterfalls in Hamilton and the surrounding area. Niagara Falls might be the biggest in Southern Ontario, but Hamilton takes the crown for "City of Waterfalls." Many of these waterfalls are quite beautiful and are part of the trails and green belt parks! That means many of the nicest waterfalls in the region are accessible and perfect for families with little hikers. As a resident of the area, I love taking my family for nature hikes on weekends. Since we usually …

road trip season

Road Trip Season is Here! Are you Ready to Hit the Road?

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Woot! It’s road trip season; my favourite time of the year. There is nothing better than the call of the open road, so when the winter tires come off, I start planning road trips all over Ontario. But first, I make sure my car is up to snuff.  This is the third year that I've partnered with Kaltire in the spring, to educate my readers on the importance of their tires. Last year we talked about the damage potholes could do, and the year before that I shared why spring tune ups are so …

5 of the Best Beaches in Southwest Ontario to Take the Family

By //  by Anne Radcliffe Leave a Comment

The beaches in Southwest Ontario are great family destinations - often underrated because they're not a tropical destination. For people who haven't enjoyed the local spots, they're missing out! Many are conveniently located along Lake Huron and Erie's coastlines, which means they're close enough for day trips and weekend stays. With so many great beaches in Southwest Ontario to take small kids right here at home, there's no excuse! Find one near where you live and go enjoy sand between …
