Canada Vacations #1:Fundy National Park is a nice vacation spot located in the Fundy Bay along the coast of New Brunswick. Enter through the quaint village of Alma, home to lobster and scallops fisherman. The beach contains a tidal pool at low tide which is great for long quiet walks. Along the beach is a saltwater marsh, home to a great variety of birds. The park has many hiking trails to accommodate all levels. They vary from easy to very strenuous.
Vacation Ideas in Canada #2:The 75 foot high Grand Falls, in New Brunswick, is the largest waterfall east of Niagara Falls. Stairs lead you down to the bottom of the gorge. There are hiking trails to scenic spots. A pontoon-boat takes you on a ride through the 229 foot high Gorge. Visit the Grand Falls Museum, farmers market and marina in town. Vacation Ideas in Canada #3:The Cabot Trail has been described as "the most spectacular drive in North America". The 185 mile long road makes a giant loop around the rugged Nova Scotia peninsula, passing through breathtaking scenery and past numerous small friendly communities as well as Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Some excellent stops along the way are 8 different museums, The Bell Bay Golf Club, The Celtic Colours music festival, Cabot's Landing Provincial Park, and The Pleasant Bay Whale Interpretive Centre. Vacation Ideas in Canada #4:By Melissa from Nova Scotia, Canada - Our favorite vacation was a trip to Canmore, Alberta Canada, We stayed at a beautiful place called A Bear and Bison Inn. It is a beautiful newly built log Inn, with luxury accommodations and first class food. A Bear and Bison Inn is located on a mountain in beautiful and unforgettable Canmore, Alberta. Downtown Canmore is a picturesque quaint town with the Rocky Mountains in the background as you look down the Main Street. There are an abundance of little shops such as fudge & ice cream store, a candy store, souvenir shops, there are several restaurants downtown, but we chose Murietta's Bar and Grill, a local favorite. Overall, I enjoyed this vacation because the scenery was beautiful, the food was first class, and the inn was large, accommodating, and beautiful. There is a lot to do nearby such as skiing, the gondola in Banff, hiking, and walking by the Bow River. In summer there is rafting, float trips and tours for all ages in the Bow River. There is a year round trail that loops around the river and a rustic old bridge at the end. It's a local favorite for weddings and pictures. This is all within a 10 minute walk of downtown. All the experiences were the best I have ever enjoyed mostly because of the scenery, the feeling and ambiance of the town of Canmore. I have been to many other places and this one is defiantly 5 star. Vacation Spots in Canada #5:If the idea of a vacation is a small island with nothing to do but sit back and relax surrounded by the tranquility of nature, then consider a trip to Canada’s Pelee Island. Located in Lake Erie, the 10,000 acres that make up Pelee Island are just a ferry ride from Leamington, Ontario or Sandusky, Ohio. There are a few nice places to stay, like the Gathering Place B&B, the Wavecrest B&B and the Anchor and Wheel Inn. There are also a few restaurants and a small winery. But that’s about it. On Pelee Island you can spend your day walking or bicycling around the wooded island exploring nature. Along the way you can stop in at the Pelee Lighthouse, Pelee Island Heritage Center and the Fish Point Nature Reserve. It’s the kind of place where you can truly get away from the hustle and cares your workaday life and enjoy relaxing in nature. Vacation Spots in Canada #6:Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, in Alberta, is one of the world's oldest, largest and best preserved buffalo jump locations. This refers to the practice of aboriginal people where they drive the buffalo over a cliff as a means of killing them for food and sustenance. This particular site has been used for over 5,000 years. A number of special events and native festivals are held each year. Tipi camping is available where you can spend the night in canvas tipis, and experience living off the land with a Blackfoot guide.
